VH-RGC
Cessna
180 Skywagon
(c/n 32450)
The above shot looks almost like one of those TV
commercials which are basically in black
and white but where they
only color the salient thing they are trying to sell........Anyway, this
image of VH-RGC came
from Geoff Goodall, and was taken at Moorabbin, circa 1958. The
aircraft had been
registered in June 1956 to Richard G. Casey, otherwise known as The
Right
Honourable Lord Casey of
Berwick, later Governor General of Australia. Previously
N6553A,
it was flown extensively by
Casey and his wife Maie in the late 1950s, along with their Miles
Messenger VH-AVQ. The
(true) black and white shot (below) was taken by Geoff at
Mang-
alore, Victoria in 1968
showing it in basically the same standard Cessna livery, but with a re-
positioned
rego. VH-RGC is still current (2009), and
registered to an owner
in Western
Australia.
