VH-RWO Cessna 182C
Skylane
(c/n 52908)
This shot was taken by Geoff
Goodall at Adelaide Airport on new Years Eve, 1962 while on a
holiday flight from Perth.
-RWO had been accompanied by -RWZ, a 182E model Skylane.
The Royal Aero Club of WA
purchased -RWO from Aero Service Pty Ltd at Maylands Aero-
drome
in October 1960 when it was registered VH-WFZ. It made the
short ferry flight over to
Perth Airport where the club
was then based on 13 October 1960 flown by club instructor Harry
Pepper. Re-registration to
VH-RWO came two weeks later. Color scheme was red and black
on natural metal.
The RACWA sold the machine in November 1964 whereupon it
became
VH-CKO.
