VH-MJB Auster J/2 Arrow
(c/n 2388)
This
photos above and the one immediately below were taken by Greg Banfield
at Luskintyre,
NSW in May 1986, just after -MJB had been
restored. The long range shot at the foot of the
page is from the Richard Rudd collection and shows the
Arrow departing Hobart's Cambridge
Airport, date
unknown. Richard now owns the aircraft and it is
currently on the RAA register
as
24-4566.
It was the former VH-KAC whose
CofA lapsed in 1966 and was not restored
until 1986, reappearing as
VH-MJB, registered to
M. Duff of Launceston. Early in the new
millennium it
was acquired by E.C. von Nida of Cairns,
N.Q. It was then cancelled by CASA
on 24 April 2006
as "no
entitled person (CAR13N)" . Richard acquired it
from the Ted von
Nida estate. See VH-KAC
for more details and a
shot of it as 24-4566..
