I had the 'pleasure' of ferrying VH-IAO, C172 from BK to JT in June '68.

It was a 'VERY much used' aircraft then...used only for circuit training I believe. All it had were the BASIC instruments, ASI, ALT, T&B, Compass - inc. oil press./ temps./ fuel gauges - and from memory, that was about the lot. I supplied the clock.
A very enjoyable trip - solo - my first east-west crossing. Done a few more ferries / navex's with students since, always enjoyable, and different...

Last saw Senja early 80's when she passed thru Kalgoorlie FSU on a 'big trip', a very nice lady.

Nice memories, thanks guys.
