                                            This Twin Comanche, carrying Aviation Enterprises, Canberra titling on the fuselage, was visiting
                                            far-off Perth, WA in May of 1969 when this shot, from the Geoff Goodall collection was taken.  
                                            The aircraft had been imported new through Piper dealers Ansett General Aviation at Bankstown
                                            the prior January.   It had several other owners before crashing at Bourke, NSW on 2 August 1990.
                                            The pilot had taken off in bad weather, and then decided to abort the flight.  He hit telephone wires
                                            when attempting to land on the reciprocal runway heading.
