This immaculate Skyhawk was first registered on 6 February 1974. Most of its life was spent on a property in NSW from whence an old mate of mine recently bought it. It has been given a superb new external paint job in Horsham and has also had some engine and avionics work carried out: otherwise the interior is fully original. Currently based at Tyabb. Although marked as such it isn't a Skyhawk SP.

Apart from the avionics stack and the digital engine-management instrument this Skyhawk's cockpit is exactly as it was when it rolled off the Cessna line in the '70s.
