VH-RYA (1) Cessna 205                                    (c/n  205-0109)

                                  

                                       Dubbedn 210-5 by the FAA, I have tended to list this aircraft as the 205.  It was basically a fixed
                                       undercarriange model 210. The above shot by Darryl Connell at Port Macquarie in 1963 is rare in
                                       that this aircraft was first registereed in February of that year and three months later in May 63 was
                                       re-registered VH-DMC. At the time of this image it was a demonstrator for Cessna dealers Rex
                                       Aviation and then re-registered when sold.    In September 1965 it was re-registered again, to
                                       VH-RCF.
