VH-CUI   Piper  PA-28R-200 Chrokee Arrow                            (c/n  28R-35700)

                                     

                                         I wonder why the owner of this Arrow elected to paint the rego in black, rather than white on this
                                         darkish red cheat line?  The above is a John Wheatley shot taken in the early 1970s.  The aircraft
                                         had been registered in new in July 1970.         It was totally destroyed when it flew into a ridge (in
                                         basically level flight) some 55 km north-west of Lismore, NSW on 13 November 1977.  The pilot
                                         and three passengers were killed.
