Photo Comment

This was the first Cessna 180 to be registered VH-BQD and crashed at Beemery, NSW on August 7, 1956. It was replaced within the year by c/n 31128 imported from New Zealand. It too crashed, in 1959. The aircraft is seen here loading superphosphate on a farm probably in the Central West or South-West Slopes regions of NSW. The name of the photographer is not known.
