VH-RHR Cessna 182D
Skylane
(c/n 182-53130)
This somewhat
blurry photo is via John Bland who sold 'Joy Ride' tickets for Nicholas
Air Charter's
owner Dick Cavill at Moorabbin for
this aircraft when it was brand new in 1961. I have enlarged
the shot (see below) to clarify the titling on the fuselage. NAC
was financed by the Nicholas family
of Melbourne (of Aspro pain
tablet fame) and founded by Dick Cavill, an ex RAAF Meteor pilot.
In 1963 the
company was absorbed with SA Air Taxis and moved to Parafield.
-RHR, meanwhile,
is still
registered, and still in Victoria, being registered to a private owner
based at Latrobe Regional
Airport.
