VH-TRA Mooney
M.20E Super 21
(c/n 412)
The Mooney
-TRA in a Geoff Goodall shot at
Jandakot in December 1969 while the aircraft was
owned by Boxall Air Charter of Bunbury,WA.
First registered on 3 August 1964 to WA agents
Winterbottom Tractors Pty
Ltd, using an appropriate phonetic registration, it went on to be
owned
by a number of WA owners. Geoff saw it again (below) at
Dowerin, WA in August 1978 whilst
attending an
agricultural field day in the town. By then it was
resplendent in the same paint scheme
as worn by -TPF.
(Was this a standard (and attractive) paint job adopted by the local
Mooney
agents in the
late 1970s when aircraft came in for majors?). Still current,
-TRA is now registered
to an owner in Queensland.
