                                     Ex N2717W, –IAE was delivered to Illawarra Flying School in May 1966.    David Carter photo-
                                     graphed it in Illawarra marks (complte with minuscule rego) at Bankstown in 1970.  The Mooney
                                     was destroyed in a suspicious fire at Grafton airport on March 12, 1971.  Grafton has two airports,
                                     South Grafton tucked in close to the town and favoured by light aircraft and the more isolated
                                     Grafton airport, which in 1971 was used mainly by East West’s Fokker service to Sydney.
