Beech 95-D55 Baron
(c/n TE-554)
Here's a smart looking Baron seen by John Wheatley at
Mascot in September 1969. Clearly
Datsun sales were good in
the late 1960s. Formerly registered in the US as N8340N,
this aircraft
later went to
Cairns Aerial Services (Pty) Ltd in the mid-1970s. It had a
series of owners after that
and suffered an
accident at Broome, WA on 11 February 1992, but continued with an
outfit named
Jacaranda Aviation at Coffs
Harbour, NSW until it was struck off register on 17 July 2001 as "with-
drawn from
service". Greg Banfield's B&W shot below was taken
within the same time-frame.
