VH-TMI
(1) as N3397X Mooney M.20C Super 21
(c/n
1104)
Well, I don't have a photo of -TMI as
-TMI. Anybody have one? Unlikely, since it was only
registered VH-TMI from 10
August 1966 to the following 14 October when it was sold by
Mooney agents Winterbottom Tractors Pty Ltd of Perth to M.W.
& L.S. Blakeney of
Geraldton WA.
The Blakeneys had traded in their Cherokee 235 VH-MWB on the new
Mooney, and Winterbottom's
managed a registration swap between the two aircraft.
A photo of
it as VH-MWB can be seen under that
rego. Meanwhile the Cherokee VH-TMI
was on-sold the following
year. Greg Banfield saw the Mooney (above) at Mascot in its
US
registration a few days after being imported on 21 July 1988.
