VH-MLS Piper
PA-25-235 Pawnee B
(c/n 25-3809)
Danny Tanner's shot (above)
ot this fairly late model Pawnee was taken at Cootamundra, NSW in
July 1988,
a decade later than Geoff Goodall's photo below, which was in a shed
(one could hardly
call it a "hangar") at
Albury, NSW, in May 1967.
It was owned by Border Aviation Agriculture
Pty
Ltd originally although had become a glider tug in latter years.
Possibly it was in that status in the
time of Danny's color
photo. I am not sure what the significance of the 'M" on the
rudder was. Still
current, it is earning
its living nowadays as a glider tug for the Canberra Gliding Club in
Australia's
Capital Territory.
