                                      This early Skyhawk was first registered in May 1962 to a pastoralist at Coorow, WA.     When
                                      Geoff Goodall saw it (above) at Perth's GA Jandakot Airport in August 1972 is was being operated
                                      by Charabanc Tours out of Carnarvon, WA.   It had many owners, as evidenced by Geoff's second
                                      shot of it, below, at Narrogin in January 1973, only a scant few months after the first photo, but this
                                      time owned by the Transway Motel of Manjimup, WA, and as a rally participant.    It was cancelled
                                      from the register in September of 1984.
