Was just flicking through the book "Standard Catalog of Piper Single Engine Aircraft" by Jim Cavanagh and came across these pics which made me think of this thread.

Renurpp,

VH-AMP if I recall. Last seen in a creek near Charmhaven.

PS: Wallarah Creek.

Pic of one landing into the river at Bankstown.
Pic taken form the tower possibly about 4 years ago.

FYI, all it took was a very simple search in Google to find this

This aeroplane is at present in storage but if anyone wants to get in contact with the owner, to perhaps help him get in the water/air again please PM me and I can arrange something.
