                                    Here's a nice Mike Vincent shot of a Hazelton Air Services Skywagon at home base Cudal, NSW
                                    on October 1976.  By that time it had been with the company for a dozen years, having been first
                                    registered in October 1964.    On 3 October 1987 it suffered an engine failure over Berrigen, NSW
                                    whilst on a parachutist dropping run.  It nosed over on crash landing in a wheat field.  Several years
                                    later it was repaired and is still current, being now based in the Traralgon area in the Gippsland region
                                    of Victoria, where it is available for renting through the Latrobe Valley Aero Club.     Martin Covey
                                    saw it (below) at Shepparton in March 2009.
