VH-RHD  Cessna 175 Skylark                        (c/n  55711)

                          

                              Registered new in February 1959, this Skylark was originally VH-RIM.   It was reregistered -RHD
                              in January 1961..  The above shot, from the Geoff Goodall collection shows it at Dalby, Queensland
                              in October 1966.   It is still current and privately owned in Roma, Queensland.    When I first started
                              taking aircraft photos in the mid 1940s, the idea of spotting a 57 year old machine would have been
                              impossible, since aircraft had only been invented for less than 40 years!
