Logos on C150s

Quote from cj241101:
"Medium blue and the standard Cessna scheme from 1967 looks like being the order of the day. From photos there looks to be a small "AST" logo on the top half of the fin."

Yes, that's correct. In 1966, as you seem to have noticed, the older C150s had the small AST badge on the fin - as seen on my photos of G-ARFO and G-ARSB:

At that time the fleet was expanding rapidly with Rheims-built machines and perhaps there simply wasn't time to fit the badges to newly-delivered aircraft - or perhaps they were not available.

By October 1966, according to my logbook, new deliveries had got as far as G-ATOG, a C150F (swept-fin).

BTW, I see that aircraft went on to have a chequered career:

Sorry for the late response.

Hi dont overfil,
Several of your posts and nice contemporary photos of the aerodrome seem to have gone missing from the early pages of this thread?
