VH-TRA  Mooney M.20E Super 21                                 (c/n   412)

                                       

                                             The Mooney -TRA in a Geoff Goodall shot at Jandakot (above) in December 1969 while the
                                             aircraft was owned by Boxall Air Charter of Bunbury,WA.  First registered on 3 August 1964
                                             to WA agents Winterbottom Tractors Pty Ltd, using an appropriate phonetic registration, it went
                                             on to be owned by a number of WA owners.     Geoff saw it again (below) at Dowerin, WA in
                                             August 1978 whilst attending an agricultural field day in the town.   By then it was resplendent in
                                             the same paint scheme as worn by -TPF.  (Was this a standard (and, I must say, attractive) paint
                                             job adopted by the local Mooney agents in the late 1970s when aircraft came in for majors?).
                                             Still current, -TRA is now registered to an owner in Queensland.
