VH- SEO Piper PA-25-235
Pawnee
(c/n 25-2545)
David Carter’s photo of
VH-SEO shows it in 1970 at Bankstown where it was about to be
dismantled and shipped to Malaysia where it became 9M-APO.
The aircraft was first regis-
tered in Australia as VH-SFO
in January 1964, probably with Skyfarmers, of Leongatha, Vic.
It was
reregistered –SEO in February 1966. Arthur Hayes and
Barry Fredrickson operated
several Pawnees out of Mackay in the VH-SE* block but it also might
have been a minimum
change
reregistration to free up –SFO, although it was 13 years before that
rego was used again
(and
then not by Skyfarmers). 9M-APO was
not current in 2016 and its fate is unknown.
