Default RFDS Cessna 180

Russell,

I have a friend who is currently building an R/C model of the Cessna 180. If
you have other photographs of this aircraft could you post them also, or if
you don't think they are good enough to post, send me the pictures directly?

I know that my friend would appreciate the photos, and having a different
paint scheme to consider for his model.

Thanks
Ken

This aircraft has a bit of history. The Royal Flying Doctors Srvice used
this 180 out of Meekathara in Western Australia from 1960 - 1970. Almost
20 years later the man who was its pilot during much of that time came
across it sitting in a farm shed. 2 morgages and few years later he has it
fully restored using even the original instruments (in the cockpit photo
the original clock is missing, it was being repaired). It is now flying
and very much a part of the WA aviation scene.

This is my only other photo. I can not promise but I do know where this
aircraft is kept. If I get a chance soon I will try to get more photos of
it.

Russell,

I know my friend would appreciate any photos that you could get. He mostly
would need photos of the paint and markings. He already has plenty of detail
photos of a couple of different 180's.

Thanks again
Ken
