                                 Bob Neate took the above shot of this Auster at Bathurst, NSW in 1961.      By 1967 it was
                                 looking decidedly decrepit in the photo immediately below by Peter Limon (via Geoff Goodall)
                                 taken at Alice Springs, NT.    Below that is an image from the Goodall collection of the Autocar
                                 during an overhaul at Goulburn, NSW somewhat earlier in 1964, and looking very much a shambles.
                               . VH-CDS was the former VH-ADU, VH-AJP and VH-TMD.     It is currently under restoration
                                 (to become VH-NOS).
