                                      This retractable gear Cherokee was registered in August 1969 to a grazier from Yeppoon in
                                      Queensland.    David Carter photographed it basking in the sun at Mascot in 1970. By 1976
                                      –TUT was flying with the Namoi Aero Club out of Narrabri.     It was in the West in the late
                                     1980s, being twice reported for heavy landings.     The first was a mystery, only discovered
                                      by a conscientious cleaner who spotted the damaged undercarriage in October 1988.   The
                                      offending pilot was never discovered.    On May 15, 1990 it landed heavily at Jandakot but
                                      this time the incident was reported.   –TUT remained current in November 2016 and based
                                      at Geraldton.
