VH-AMO  (2)   Cessna 170B                                (c/n  26425)

                               

                                       This Cessna 170, like many of its breed, was first owned by a missionary organization in
                                       Papua New Guinea.  In the case of VH-AMO it was the Lutheran Mission in Madang who
                                       first registered it at the end of 1954.   Geoff Goodall's shot above was taken at Parafield in
                                       March 1963 after the mission had sold it and it had been purchased by H. Treloar of Adelaide.
                                       It wore a weathered old creamy yellow psuedo-Cessna paint job.    Geoff saw it again at the
                                       same airport two years later, outside this time with a new, although totally non-standard, blue
                                       and white scheme.   It is still on the current register (2007) and still domiciled in South Australia.
