                                    This Cessna was first registered in June 1967 three years after the previous holder of the marking,
                                    a Tiger Moth, had been withdrawn from use.  It is seen above at Perth Airport in April 1972 wearing

                                    as VH-BUD (ex N7029L) for Opal Air of Coober Pedy, SA but was then traded a year later to the
                                    WA Cessna agents Simpson Aviation on a new Cessna 402, which assumed the same rego. The 310
                                    meanwhile soldiered on and is now privately owned out of Bundaberg, Qld, where Phil Vabre saw
