VH-SNN  Cessna 182A Skylane                           (c/n  34982)

                                         

                                               This was the former Bush Pilots Airways VH-BPF.   Greg Banfield saw it sporting a white, red
                                               and black color scheme at Bankstown in August 1964.  Corespondent Ken Whytcross advises
                                               that his father, Ernest, purchased -SNN in 1965, just before he acquired a farm at Barellan,
                                               NSW, and hangared the aircraft there.  Mr.Whytcross was the former owner of the Tri-Pacer
                                               VH-ACF.  The grainy shot below is from Ken showing his brother, evidently priming the
                                               Continental 0-470-R at Barellan in the 1960s.  . -SNN is still current, and today it is privately
                                               owned in Longreach, Qld.
