EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the de Havilland Riley-Heron 2, registration VH-CLX, as it soars through the clear blue skies over Tasmania during the 1970s. The Riley-Heron 2, a single-engine, high-wing, utility aircraft, was a popular choice for private aviation enthusiasts and small flying clubs due to its versatility and reliability. Manufactured by de Havilland Aircraft of Canada, this aircraft was a successor to the original Riley-Heron, featuring improved performance and a more spacious cabin. The Riley-Heron 2 could seat up to six passengers and was capable of carrying a payload of up to 1,500 pounds. The aircraft in this photograph, VH-CLX, was operated by various private owners throughout its service life, including Airlines of Tasmania. Although not a commercial airline, Airlines of Tasmania provided essential transportation services to the remote and rugged regions of Tasmania, connecting communities that were otherwise inaccessible by land. The Riley-Heron 2, with its distinctive silhouette and robust design, was a common sight in the skies above Tasmania during the 1970s. Its ability to operate from unpaved strips and short grass runways made it an ideal choice for the challenging terrain of the island state. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of general aviation and the spirit of adventure that drives pilots and aviation enthusiasts alike.
