VH-FWI  Beech 19A Musketeer Sport                     (c/n  MB-310)

                                

                                    Subtle minor detail changes to the A23-19 Musketeer Sport III produced the Musketeer Sport, and
                                    for some inexplicable (at least to me) reason, Beech saw fit to drop the 23 model number and merely
                                    refer to it as the Model 19A.  Go figure.  192 of them were built and -FWI was one of the first on the
                                    Australian civil register, being the demonstrator aircraft for Beech distributors Hawker de Havilland
                                    when first imported in September 1968.   Geoff Goodall's shot of it above was taken at Jandakot in
                                    December 1970.   The Sport III was caneclled from the register following an accident at Moorabbin
                                    on 30 June 2006.
