At that time the RVAC had a PA28, RVK which was set up for IFR training. It had a removable internal screen which was tinted and fitted inside the windscreen. When IF training the student would wear a pair of glassess which were tinted with a colour that when viewed with the fitted screen made the "view" opaque (to simulate in cloud). The instructor was able to keep full visibility. If I recall RVK had a ADF and VOR which was something new at time replacing the old VAR. The club also had two new B33 Debonairs, RVC and RVD which had an ADF fitted. RVC, D, V & K are all still on the register.
As in a previous post, Schutt's had a C172 (VH-DMW) that was IFR certified and the only single at MB that was at that time.
