VH-WVL Piper
PA-30 Twin Comanche
C
(c/n 30-1986)
Imported in February 1970, this Twin Comanche was
built by Pipers as N8828Y. Danny Tanner
saw it at Cootamundra,
NSW in July 1988, above. .Somewhere I have it as having appeared
at the
2011 Oshkosh,
Wisconsin Air
Show. There must be a story there, but I do not have
details.
To com-
pound my
confusion, -WVL was off the register for a while in 1977-78
during which time the rego
was used on a
Grob G102 which then became VH-IZL. Anyway, it appears to
have been restored
to the Australian register in 1979, again as -WVL. .
It is currently registered in NSW, although Ian
Mcdonell's shot below was at Gympie in August 2016.
