VH-RWM Cessna 150B
(c/n 15059495)
Two shots
of this RACWA 150B taken at different Perth
Airports. Above, by Mike Madden
in March 1963 when the club was based at Perth Airport, having left the
old Maylands base, and
whilst waiting for the 'new'
airport at Jandakot to be completed. And below, by
Geoff Goodall
at Jandakot in July 1973 after it had been sold off by the club.
Other than the 'Snoopy' on the tail,
it was still in stock Cessna
livery Originally imported by Rex Aviation s in March 1962 as
VH-RBS,
the
diminutive trainer was re-registered -RWM a couple of months later when
acquired by the Royal
Aero Club of WA.
Replaced by the club with a newer
model Cessna in 1969, it
was sold to
"Cardabia" Station,
out of Carnarvon WA, then later moved on to a series of other WA
owners.
It
is still current although has been horribly (in my opinion) modified
with a STOL kit, a 180 h.p.
engine and balloon tires. Oh dear.
Ian McDonell saw it thus arrayed at the Old
Station Fly-In
and Heritage
Show near Raglan, Queensland in May 2016..
