VH-RNJ (2)  Cessna 150G                              (c/n  15066316)

                                  

                                        -RNJ was allocated to this 150 after the Chipmunk was sold off.   It had been imported by Rex
                                        as VH-KUW (ex N8416J) and re-registered -RNJ when acquired by the Royal Newcastle Aero
                                        Club.    It was sold off in the mid 1970s to a private owner in Cowra, NSW and later written off
                                        when it stalled after take-off from Canberra Airport on 22 February 1983.   A worn carburetor
                                        heat cable left this mechanism in the fully hot position, resulting a critical loss of engine power.
