VH-GWT Piper PA-30-160 Twin Comanche B
(c/n
30-1562)
Ferried to Australia as N8412Y, VH-GWT was registered in October
1967. The 1976 register
showed the owner
as Sears and Swain Pty Ltd, of Orange. When David
Carter photographed
it at Mascot in
1984, (above) it was owned by another Orange company, Com-Pak Products,
a
manufacturer of welders and
compressors. It was still
registered to that owner in August 2016
to an Orange postal
address. However Com-Pak had moved its business to Brisbane.
