VH-DGL (1)  Cessna 172F Skyhawk               (c/n  17252023)

                                 

                                    Those who have gone through the selection of photos on this site will known that I am not crazy about
                                    wreck pictures as the lead photo.    However, I am assured by the CAHS that this Terry Martin image
                                    is, in fact, that of -DGL (1), and so it will have to be a "better than nothing" entry.     .  The Cessna was
                                    first registered in January 1965.  It crashed near Rabaul, PNG on 13 March 1966 during a Vunakanau
                                    Parachute drop.  Pilot R.Smith was killed.
