VH-RTE Cessna 182F Skylane
(c/n 18254661)
This Skylane was formerly VH-CKC
and, when purchased by Murchison's in January 1966, was
re-registered into their VH-RT block, for the
company's founder, Robert T. Oliver. The Murchison
fleet had the distinctive red tail
with stars of the Southern Cross. Geoff Goodall's
shot (above) was
taken at home base Perth Airport
in October 1969. It is seen below in January 1979 in another
Goodall shot
displaying a new paint jon while owned by Kable Agencies of Derby,
WA. It was
current up to 2009 and was sighted, parked outdoors
at Broome,WA, but appears to be no longer
registered.
