VH-ERA   Mooney M.20E Chaparral                              (c/n  884)

                                  

                                         This Mooney, seen at Orange, NSW in February 1966, is just emerging from the dust of a typical
                                         Australian country air show during the summer.   Photo from the Geoff Goodall collection. The new
                                         production Mooney had only been registered a few weeks earlier to Mr. J. G. Earl of Sydney, and
                                         in December of that year was sold to the Hastings District Flying Club at Port MacQuarie NSW
                                         and re-registered VH-PMQ, the aeronautical abbreviation for their airfield.
