VH-DJI  Cessna 172E Skyhawk                         (c/n  17250860)

                                

                                      This Skyhawk was owned by Essendon based Sanderson Aviation when Danny Tanner
                                      took the above shot in November 1980.   It was available for hire.  Looks like an effort
                                      was made to remove the BP badge on the fin.  This may have been a sponsor's logo during
                                      an air race or rally, perhaps.  First registered in June 1964, -DJI  was written off when
                                      it crashed some 30 km east of Broome, WA on 23 June 1994.  The aircraft lost engine
                                      power at  low altitude whilst being flown on a station fence line examination, and crashed
                                      into heavy bush  terrain.
