                                         The second allocation of the rego VH-CYL was this 1961 model 182D.  It was previously
                                         N9976T and first registered in Australia in January 1966, being one of the second hand air-
                                         craft imported by Hazair Sales & Service at that time.  Geoff Goodall's shot above was taken
                                         at their home base of Orange, NSW in February of that year, just after the Cessna had arrived
                                         from the US..  It was sold to the Australian Presbyterian Mission based at the remote Aurukun
                                         aboriginal community on Cape York Peninsular in Far North Queensland.     Peter Kelly photo-
                                         graphed it (below) at Cairns in January 1971.      This fifty + year old (+) Cessna is still current,
                                         and registered to a private owner in Broken Hill, NSW (2012).
