                                        This aerobatic 150 was registered new in October 1970, ex N8485M.   David Carter took
                                        the above photo at Bankstown in January 1971 just after it had been reassembled out of the
                                        box.   Aerobats had checkered tail tips.  (Looks like a metro police marking).  It was sold to
                                        a private owner at Moorabbin.  Decades later, Phil Vabre saw it at Griffith, NSW in April
                                        2010, (below) by which time it had grown STOL wing tips.
