VH-SDB  Cessna 180H Skywagon                  (c/n 18051640)

                               
                               
                                   This 'H' model 180 was originally operated by the Mission for the Seventh Day Adventists.  It is
                                   seen above at Wewak in 1969 in this shot by Alan Bovelt.  It carried the name 'Malcom Abbott'
                                   on the nose.        First registered in May of 1966, it was owned by Dave Ford, a Perth air traffic
                                   controller by the time Geoff Goodall saw it at Jandakot in April 1975 (below).         Geoff saw it
                                   again at Noretham, WA in November 1977 (foot of the page) where it was arriving for an air show,
                                   and displaying a completely different livery.  Today it is registered to a private owner in Lilydale, Vic.
