VH-RZM (2)
Cessna 210K
Centurion
(c/n 210-59268)
VH-RZM was registered in August 1970 around the time David Carter
photographed it at
Bankstown, just after
assembly. . By the mid 1970s it was with Mt Isa
Copying and Air
Charter.
North Westinair, also of Mt Isa, acquired the aircraft in early 1993,
possibly after
taking over an existing operator
because other aircraft were transferred to its name at this
time.
It was the beginning of a string of undercarriage related
problems for -RZM. On
September
1993 nosewheel shimmy at Mornington Island led to it
collapsing. Then on
July 1, 1995 it belly-landed at Mt
Isa followed by a nosewheel collapse when it ran off the
runway at
Arizona Station on February 11, 1995. In January
1997, –RZM was sold in
the Philippines, registration
unknown.
