Hello I am trying to locate the aircraft register details that Proflite Bankstown had back in 1998 / 1999
I know they had two PA-38 Tomahawks VH-FTX (Which crashed 06JUN98) and another. I cannot recall its details. They also had a Cessna 152 and a Piper Warrior or similar.
If anyone can shed some light on these aircraft, pics and rego details would be great.

I know the company is long gone. But I am trying to follow up my old records.

Thanks.;)

and earlier,
PA-34s VH-SET & VH-CTT

Probably others also . . .

Thankyou, that is a huge help. Don't suppose you have any pics of the Tomo's? I went solo in CNV back then. Again much appreciated.


:ok:

You can add B55 FIT (carpet smelt), C182RG BLK (nice), and the B121 Beagle Pup DDS (where to begin?).

In 1998, E55 Baron FIT was registered to Sigma Aviation at Canning Vale in W.A.

In 1999, FIT was registered to Colin Kendall of Annangrove, NSW. It remained that way until at least 2006.

My log book says 1999 - so it was probably on cross hire there. I wonder what became of the various characters there.

was there from 2004 onwards so might be of little help...

CNV was grounded. I do have photos somewhere I can dig up for you. (attached)

CMV was the other Tommy, did my circuits and solo in. (red and blue stripes)

PDR was still around - missing the spinner.

CTT crashed at BK in 2003.

UBM - Archer

TLN & TLQ - C152

PDR - Arrow was available

When I started, Naji was the owner, later sold to Nasser and Gino. D.Maddock was CFI for a little while, and M.Poulton too.
