VH-GKI Cessna 185A Skywagon
(c/n 185-0315)
VH-GKI was formerly the Divine Word
Missionary's VH-DWM, registered to them in April
1962, until sold to
Territory Airlines in June 1965 and re-registered into the VH-GK
series, so
chosen to signify
Territory's home base of Goroka. Alan
Bovelt's shot above was taken at
that venue in 1966. This
Skywgon is still current and
Barry Maclean saw it at Broken Hill
(below) in the 1990s (looks
like with a zoom lens). It is currently owned by
David Reid being
a member of the
Scone (NSW) Aero Club.
