VH-MCX  Piper PA-31 Navajo Chieftain 350      (c/n  31-7405222)                  

                              

                                 As business grew, Country Air Services acquired larger aircraft.  Earlier types had included the
                                 Aztec and Twin Comanche.    This PA-31 was purchased new in 1974. (The 'Navajo' part of the
                                 name was actually dropped by Piper around that time and the PA-31-350 was known merely as
                                 the Chieftain).  Geoff Goodall took the above shot at Rockhampton in April 1978.
