I'm hoping that someone might be able to provide historical information on this aircraft which was registered in Venezuela in 1978 to one Armando Javier Mogollon.
The aircraft is now in Australia and I am trying to trace its history. Any assistance will be much appreciated.

Thanks Slatch
You did very well to find that image.
Cheers

UPDATE: The image above was actually taken at Parafield, South Australia on 5 September 1984, probably not long after the aircraft arrived from the USA.

I have owned a few C310s over the years.........still have two 1956 examples.........never flew 1259 but some time in 1257 believe it went to Aus also

I just did a quick check on 310R1257 and it seems it was originally N6070X then went to the UK as G-BGXK. It was canx from the UK register on 17OCT01 and returned to the US register on 04FEB05 as N310WT. That regn was canx on 17JUN10. Seems it was based at Perth but Perth UK not Perth Australia!

Any idea what 1259 got up to in Venezuela?
