Musketeer
(c/n M-1077)
-MJS weres the initials of this Musketeer's original owner – in
reverse. SJ Middleton, of Sydney’s
Bellevue Hill, registered new in September
1968. By the mid 1970s it was based in Melbourne
and was probably visiting from there when David Carter saw it at
Griffith in 1977 . From July
1987 to February 1990 was withdrawn from use. Corrosion was a
major problem with Musk-
eteers and that may have been the reason for its absence. –MJS
was out of action again for more
than two years . In October 1992, it
was sold in the Netherlands as PH-MJS and remained
current there in October 2016.
