VH-MUZ Victa Airtourer
115
(c/n 106)
This Airtourer was at
Maitland, NSW in April 1977 when the above shot was taken by Greg
Banfield. A decade later (in May 1986) Greg saw it
again (below) when it appeared at an
air show at Luskintyre all decked out in camouflage
and sporting D-Day invasion stripes on the
wings. (The rego is
barely discernible above the fin flash - comes up well if I enlarge
Greg's
original
image). Some owners will go to extremes to 'warbird' their
aircraft. (I once saw an
American Aviation [Grumman] AA-1B given similar treatment).
-MUZ is still current and
is based at Benalla,
Victoria. Mercifully, it appears to have been
restored to its original Victa
livery scheme.
