                                        Another Missionary Aviation Fellowship Cessna.  This one is actually the second Cessna 180
                                        to carry the registration VH-BVI.  The first (c/n 31680) came in from Netherlands New Guinea
                                        (now West Irian) where it had been registered JZ-PTC.     It was re-registered VH-SLS when
                                        sold by MAF.  The above, and second one, was seen above by Ben Dannecker in New Guinea,

                                        short navigation exercise.  It was still current June 2016 and owned in outback Capella Qld by
                                        Kym Donaldson since 2013.   Ian McDonell saw it at Archerfield in a new blue / white scheme.
