                                           The above shot, by Richard Hourigan (via Geoff Goodall) was taken at  Swan Hill, Victoria in
                                           September 1961.      This aircraft was actually  the rebuilt prototype Ceres VH-CEA, after it
                                           crashed near Seymour, Vic on 22 March 1961.  Upon rebuild it was upgraded from Ceres A
                                           to Ceres B standard and with a new c/n, CA28-18 and the new registration VH-CEX.  It re-
