This dapper looking Skylane was previously
VH-IAU.
(Originally VH-RIP when new). David
Carter’s
photograph above was taken at Griffith in November 1978 when the
aircraft was accom-
panying the Breville sponsored Kingsford-Smith Air
Race. The logo on the tail is that of Janair
AOPA, believed to be an aviation insurance broker.
The
'Sakubona' on the cabin
door is cute
. It
is a Zulu (Xhosa) word meaning 'I see you'. Get it?
Possibly the owner at that time was South
African? In August 2016, VH-ICU was with a south Sydney
owner.
