                                     the club’s colours by David Carter at Moorabbin in December 1969.        On July 1, 1973 it
                                     suffered a serious accident at Moorabbin which resulted it in being off the register for more
                                     than three years.      It had another minor prang in December 1988 when an attempt to hand-
                                     start it saw the Cherokee end up in a ditch at Albury.  In November 2016 –RVK was registered
                                     to Rod Shearer, of Huntly, Victoria.       Shearer was the recipient of a bravery award in 2015
                                     after he and two other pilots dragged two people from the burning wreckage of a Cessna that
                                     had crashed on a private strip at Bagshot, near Huntly, in October 2012.   Sadly, a third person
                                     in the plane could not be saved.
