VH-WHT Piper PA-22-108 Colt
(c/n 22-9314)
This aircraft is still current, so there must
be better shots of it available somewhere, although I doubt it
is still
in its original Piper livery . The above
photo was taken by Alan Knight early one morning at
Narrabri, NSW in
1964. The Colt
had been imported in March 1962 and went straight to the
Narrabri Aero Club. Alan reports: “I did
all my primary training in this Piper Colt. It had
the grand
indicated airspeed at cruise of 78 knots. One day I flew
VH-WHT north from
Narrabri
to Moree for a service. A fierce northerly was blowing and I
noticed the cars
below on
the Newell Highway overtaking me!”
