VH-MVC Victa Airtourer 100
(c/n 2)
VH-MVC was the second production
Airtourer and was widely used as a demo aircraft. Note that
the
rego is displayed across the fin and rudder. Later production craft had
it smaller, on the fin only.
Noted
Airtourer historian/authority Doug Stott points out that early models
had exhaust augmenters
fitted as seen
in the shot above (rearwards from the firewall), but were gone by the
time the second
image was
taken. Similarly, the under-fuselage venturi tube had been
repositioned. The photos
above and
immediately below are by Geoff
Goodall. The top one at Parafield in September of 1962,
presumably
when the
aircraft was on a
demo tour, and the lower at Jandakot, WA, six years
later, in
what would be
regarded as a more
"standard" Victa livery (below). -MVC was a
participant in the
1964 R.M.
Ansett Air race and Greg Banfield's shot at the foot of the page shows
it at the Bankstown
overnight
stop on 29 March 1964 Pilot was S.P. Kisler, from
Swan Hill, Victoria.
