VH-WWB (1)
Auster
J/5BG Cirrus Autocar
(c/n 3173)
This was the
former
VH-RAD, shipped to Robby's in Adelaide in
1955. The two representative
photos seen here are both from the Geoff Goodall collection.
Above, by Rod Adam at Parafield
in 1963, and below at Blyth, SA in October 1964 after it had been sold
to Commodore Aviation
of
Port Lincoln SA for use as a fish spotter for the local tuna fishing
fleet.
It was re-registered WWB
in 1962.
Following a
crash
at Yallunda Flat in 1965 it lay dormant for a couple of decades but was
back on
the register by 1990 as
VH-JSG fitted with a 180
h.p.Lycoming.. It is still current with that
rego.
