                                  Ian McDonell shot this 1969 Skylane at Redcliff, Qld in February 2009    First registered in
                                  June of 1969, it was previously N71431.   The breed are obviously long-lived, since at least
                                  20 of its sister craft, in the N714-- series are still flying in the US today.   This one looks like
                                  it could do with a paint job, although why bother, since it is used as a sky-diving hack.
