VH-KIM  Cessna 175                              (c/n  56095)

                               

                                          This early 1959 model 175 (they were not named Skylark until the 175A was introduced)
                                          was not registered in Australia until November 1964.   It was formerly N6595E,  The above
                                          shot, at Adelaide Airport in August 1973, is from the Geoff Goodall collection and I can see
                                          why this angle was chosen, since the machine appears to carry no rego on either the fin or the
                                          fuselage. I wonder what DCA had to say about that?   The original owner was Carol, Dickey
                                          of Kununurra, WA although by the time this photo was taken the aircraft was flying with the
                                          Meningie Aero Club.     VH-KIM was written off in a crash on 'Bililuna' Station, WA on 22
                                          June 1990.
