VH-CXC (2)  Cessna 172A                     (c/n  46853)

                                 

                                     This was the former VH-FCT imported in December 1959, ex N7253T.    It was owned by the
                                     Narromine Aero Club when Bob Neate took the above shot at that venue in  December 1962,
                                     having been re-registered as -CXC the previous May.    Fifty years on and this 172A is still on
                                     the register.   Testimony, indeed, as to the durability of these light aircraft.
