VH-CAB (3) Beech S35
Bonanza
(c/n D-7376)

One of five Bonanzas acquired by the
Department of Civil Aviation, VH-CAB was delivered in
June
1964. Over the next 28 years the department may have gone
through many reorganizations
but -CAB continued on as a departmental hack, based mainly at Brisbane.

register. The owner, who lives in the Melbourne area,
also
owns a 1967 Beech Debonair, (VH-DYF), and a 1970 Beech 36 Bonanza
(VH-EZW).
