VH-RSL (4)  Piper PA-28-140 Cherokee                         (c/n  28-7525234)

                                 

                                       Although not registered until September 1975 I'll include this aircraft in the selection since
                                       I have determined to make Royal Aero Club fleets as complete as possible up through the
                                       1980s.  This Cherokee was sold off by the RACNSW in 1980 and had a series of owners
                                       (and accidents) after that.  It was deregistered in 2006 although still in one piece as evidenced
                                       by the above photo taken at Mudgee, NSW in June 2009, by Ian McDonell attests.
