This old Cessna 180 has been around a bit. It was originally N7892A, then CF-JHU (later C-FJHU), then N8956Q before being registered VH-MTF(5) on 14 May 2010. She looks better than new!

This Karatoo has a pretty unusual background, having been originally registered with RAAus as 28-1937. On 16 December 1998 it was re-registered on the main Register as VH-TAO(4), remaining as such until 24 April 2003 when it became 28-1964.

This Chippie has had a long and convoluted history. It was originally built for the RAF as WB616, then civilianised in the UK as G-AOSC. In 1957 it was imported by the Latrobe Valley Aero Club and appropriately registered VH-MOE(1) on 17 April that year. A year later it was sold to the Goulburn Aero Club, who re-registered it VH-GAH on 13 June 1961. The following year it was sold to the RACSA who re-registered it VH-BWM(2) on 24 August 1962. And another year later again it was sold to a private owner and re-registered VH-UEU(1) on 1 November 1963.

This lovely 1960-model Cessna 180 was registered new in Australia on 22 November 1960. It was withdrawn from use on 18 September 1964 (just before I was born!), but restored on 1 May 1970.

This 1969 Aztec D was originally registered N6961Y, which was probably a 'trade plate' as it was re-registered in Australia as VH-CUW on 19 November 1969.

This 1977 Mooney Ranger was originally registered N3543H (possibly a 'trade plate'). It was re-registered in Australia as VH-UWW(2) on 24 November 1977. Note: there was no VH-UWW(1).

This attractive Rotec-powered Celebrity was registered with RAAus on 1 September 2010.

Built in the USA in 1991, registered N24AH. Re-registered in Australia as VH-XYA(2) on 9 November 2011.
