VH-WOH
Cessna 150

VH-WOH was owned by John Roulston Aviation of
Carnavon, WA when Geoff Goodall took
the above shot at Jandakot in
December 1970. Roulstons were pioneers in the field
of aerial
cattle mustering.
Acoustic horns were fitted on the undercarriage legs, and used to move
cattle
and sheep. Originally
imported in December 1961 as VH-CYI
(ex N5732E), the aircraft was
re-registered VH-RQX in July 1963 (for the Royal Queensland Aero
Club?) In March 1966 it
became VH-BQX,
although changed again in November
1967 when it was acquired by the
Wongan Hills Aero Club at Wongan Hills WA, and was re-registered
VH-WOH, using the aero-
nautical abbreviation for the town. By August 1976 the
aircraft had changed hands once more
and was now owned by W.K.
Wilkin of 'Hammersley' Station near Wittenoom, which was where
Geoff's second shot (below) was taken. Part of the Pilbara
district's mountain ranges with their
high iron ore content can be
seen in the background.
