VH-CAF (2)  Piper PA-28--180 Cherokee C                  (c/n  28-3998)

                                   

                                       The second VH-CAF was this Cherokee, purchased by DCA (at a cost of A$18,000) in June,
                                       1967 and based in Townsville   The above image was taken by Peter Kelly at that locale in 1971
                                       and is shown here courtesy of the Geoff Goodall collection.  It apparently remained on the Common-
                                       wealth's books until 1990 when it was sold to Barry Dedrick of Bergala NSW.   It is still current and
                                       registered to an owner in Nowra, NSW.    Oddly, it was not re-registered when leaving the Dept
                                       of Transport's (as DCA was then) ownership.
