Formerly the Civil Flying School's
VH-CFC this Colt
was
reregistered -MEJ in April 1963
to Millard O’Sullivan Aviation of Perth . It was
damaged at Ballarat on October 8, 1972
and was off the register until June
1975. Rebuilt, it was on the register
again when David
Carter took the above shot at
Coldstream, Victoria, in November 1978. Converting PA-22s
to taildraggers was all
the rage in Australia in the 1980s and 90s and this one was metamorph-
osed by Barry Manktelow at Toowoomba in
1994.
In April 1995, the Colt was sold in
New Zealand as ZK-MEJ. Despite suffering an accident
at Manawatu on August 1, 2015,
it remained current to a Palmerston North owner in October 2016.
