VH-ELT Cessna
402A
(c/n 402A0075)
VH-ELT was one of several 402As
imported in 1970. When Greg Banfield took the above photo
at Cessnock, NSW on 26 September
1981, this one was owned by Singleton Air Services. Prior
to that, though, it had been with
Nationwide Air Services in the early 1970s, as seen in John Wheatley's
shot below. It then went to AeroPelican and
some time later was slated to
go to New Zealand as
ZK-EEL, but I do not think this was ever taken
up. It is still current in Australia and is now owned by
a
company at Eagle Farm Airport, Brisbane.
