Photo Comment

This Shrike Commander is perhaps unique in being fitted with supplementary hand controls to enable it to be flown by people with leg disabilities. Mirage Air is normally based at Moorabbin, so the aircraft was probably at Essendon for maintenance. It was built in 1978 and first registered in Australia on 23 March 1981.
