VH-ARB  (3)  Colonial C2 Skimmer IV                           (c/n  133)

                                 

                                       This forerunner of the Lake LA-4 Buccaneer was first registered in October of 1959.  It was
                                       probably one of the last to have the 'Colonial' appellation, since Lake Aircraft took over prod-
                                       uction in that same year.  The above shot, from the Geoff Goodall collection was taken at Bank-
                                       stown in  September 1965, and was owned by Victa Ltd of Sydney who had their Airtourer
                                       range in full production at that time.  It was (in 2009) still registered to a private owner in Sydney.
