                                        Here's an AgCat which has not only been converted to a 2-seat version (by removal of the hopper
                                        and installing a seat) but also has been given sea boots.   Or, how to mnake an ugly aeroplane even
                                        uglier.........Anyway, Roger McDonald caught it at Surfers Paradise, Qld in Dcember 1992.
                                        VH-CCK was first registered to Cropcair Aviation of Archerfield in February 1965.  It later went
                                        to Grasslands Aviation in Albury,  NSW and then to other operators.      In 1983 it was modified
                                        for banner towing, then joyriding with an enlarged front cockpit and later fitted with floats for scenic
                                        flights .    It is currently registered to Red Baron Downunder Pty Ltd.of Queensland's Gold Coast.
