                                        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.
