VH-WEK  Weatherley 620A                                  (c/n  ?)

                               

                                   The Weatherley series of ag aircraft was originally based on the Fairchild PT-23 airframe, and were
                                   produced in a factory in Hollister, California  from about 1961 on.  The original Weatherley Aviation
                                   folded in 1999 and has been replaced with a newly financed Weatherley Aircraft Company which
                                   continues to build these crop duster/sprayers.  Several made their way to Australia in the early 1990s,
                                   one of which was seen by Barry Maclean (above) at an air show at Avalon, Victoria, in 1992.
