VH-DJY Cessna 172E
Skyhawk
(c/n 17251007)
One of the better of John Bland's photos, this
one taken at Moorabbin when -DJY was new in
April
1964. John indicates that around about
that time he graduated from his old (borrowed)
Box Brownie to his dad's Agfa 35 mm camera. John also noticed
that several Cessnas imported
around
this time did not have the paint job on the rudder, or indeed the
Cessna circle logo which
normally
accompanied this livery. Odd, huh? Anyway, this
Skyhawk seems
to have spent most
of its
fifty years in Queensland, a state where it is
now still currently registered (2015), to a private
owner.
