Originally imported
as VH-TMJ in July 1966 for WA Mooney agents Winterbottom Tractors of
Perth this
Mooney was quickly sold on to Mining Supplies of Kalgoorlie WA, and
re-registered
VH-MSK the
following month. By the time Geoff Goodall saw it (above)
ay Jandakot in Nov-
ember 1969 it
was owned by the civil engineering form of J.C. Stott, Pty Ltd.
In his second shot
(below) Geoff
saw it again at Perth Airport in 1977, wearing a new paint job. .. Note
DC-8 in the
background which
was operated by the British carrier IAS Air Cargo who, at that time,
had a twice-
weekly run
from Perth to Riyadh in Saudi Arabia carrying frozen lamb. (I
lived in Riyadh in 1981
and would
frequent the local supermarket [souk] looking for this very
lamb!). -MSK is no longer
on the register.
