VH-MNG  Cessna 210K Centurion                                      (c/n  21059206)

                         

                              Originally to have been VH-DGZ, this Centurion was first registered in March 1970.  It was owned
                              by Griffith Bros. (Pty) Ltd, based at Bankstown, where this Ray Deerness shot was taken when the
                              aircraft was brand new.   Shortly after being registered, it was damaged in an accident on 9 May
                              1970 at "Nelyambo" Station near Wilcannia, NSW when the pilot touched down on a rough strip
                              to avoid sheep, collapsing the nose gear.   Repaired, it lasted until June 1982 when it was damaged
                              beyond repair.  No details of this latter accident.
