VH-DUY  LET (Orlican) L-40 Meta Sokol                              (c/n  150601)

                           

                               As the name suggests, the Meta Sokol was an all-metal development of the earlier Mraz M1C
                               Sokol, one of which came into Australia in 1950.  This model did rather better, population-wise,
                               some nine or ten having been imported.    -DUY was first registered in March 1961 and Eric
                               Favelle took the above photo at Moorabbin in October 1973.  Richard Maclean's shot (below)
                               was taken at Essendon a decade earlier in 1962.   -DUY was withdrawn from service in 1987.
