The Aeronca K was introduced in 1937 as a replacement for the diminutive Aeronca C-2
and C-3. Although somewhat more conventional, the lines of the C series are clearly seen.
It is, therefore, an older aircraft than the two previously imaged Aeroncas, VH-ACH and
-ACJ. VH-ACK was previously on the US Civil Register as NC18888 and was imported
at the end of 1939. This shot was taken at Bankstown in 1952. Note 1950 "single spinner"
Ford at left. Geoff Goodall provides another very nice shot ot it (below) taken slightly later
(1967) in the long grass at Moorabbin. Finally, for another (and later) photo of it, plus a
more complete history, go to
