It's hard to believe I took this pic over 50 years ago. I thought the Piper Comanche PA-24-250 was the most beautiful of all the private planes around and built a control line model of it (powered by my trusty Taipan 2.5cc diesel engine).
I still think it's a beautiful aircraft. VH-CDA was first registered in 1960.
Pic taken March 1964 at Archerfield Aerodrome, Brisbane, prior to it flying in the RM Ansett Air Race (before its race no. 30 was applied).

Some beautiful and interesting planes here. Love propeller planes and the sound they have. The photo of "Connie" does her justice on those lines of hers...
Will have to find the photos I took as a kid at my first airshow. Biggest grin ever seen on a young 8 year old.
Go home, your igloo is on fire....
