VH-RHS (1) Cessna 150A
(c/n 15059158)
Officially, with the 'A' model onwards, Cessna
c/ns were prefixed with the '150'. CASA seems to
have
retroactively fitted this prefix to 'straight' 150s although strictly
this should not be. This early
'A' model was
photographed at Albany, WA in 1961, and this image comes from the vast
collection
of Geoff
Goodall. This, the first -RHS, was registered in March 1961
to Schutt Aviation of Moorabbin
who
sold it to Cheynes Beach Whaling Company of Albany, WA to be used on
whale spotting duties. .
It was quickly
replaced by a more suitable Cessna 172 floatplane and the little 150A
was sold off to
the Royal Aero Club
of WA where it became VH-RWN.
