| CESSNA C 180 SKYWAGON Australian
Army Skwagon, they used these for many years.
A couple of the originals are still flying today in the old colour scheme.
The light patches were 'dayglo' orange, & the rest was in Olive drab.

| CESSNA C 180 SKYWAGON For those
of you who know BK it is "Black Charlie's" Hill in the back ground.
It is now completely covered in housing.
Also there are a couple of Sid Marshall's Ansons in the background. |

 |
| CESSNA C 190 This particular C190
was later fitted with the 300HP Jacobs
radial & became a C195.
Great aircraft to fly, the cockpit layout looked like something
out of an old Buick motor car. A very advanced aircraft
for it's day & has some outstanding engineering features.

| CESSNA C 190 Photographed in the
same spot in Rex's hangar as the C150. |
 |
| CESSNA C 210 CENTURION Again from
Silver City Air Taxis. For the pre-flight on 210's
with gear doors it was essential to pump the doors down
to do a proper pre flight. |
 |
| CESSNA SKYHOOK Just a bonus from
my collection. |
