VH-RCW LET (Orlikan)
L-40 Meta
Sokol
(c/n 150603)
Refueling - country style. The above shot, by Geoff
Goodall, was taken at an air show at Blyth,
SA in October 1963.
The rego reflects the owner's initials, R.C. Wagner of Lake Wangary,
SA.
Most other Sokols were registered
in the VH-DU- series. Seen below is a photo by Bob Neate
at Cootamundra in March 1962,
showing it wearing the original Czech factory livery. Odd
that
it should have been repainted so
soon. Not only that, but I, personally, like the lower one
better!
VH-RCW later went to Queensland, and is still
registered in that state; to an owner on
the Gold
Coast. Tony
Arbon saw it (bottom of page) at Watts Bridge in 2012.
