Description: this factory fresh Cessna (build by Reims) was on October 13 1967 via Benelux Cessna dealer Sotramat registered to a private user (R. Hendrickx) based at Charleroi airport but did lease it to Xavier Deom (of E.M. Deom Aviation which was officially established on December 22 1969 and based at Grimbergen airfield). Run by Xavier Deom it acted as flying school but also made technical assistence to Cessna 150's (of Publi-Air), here seen such in a blue livery without titles. On July 2 1968 it was damaged beyond repair on takeoff during a thunderstorm at Aalst airfield, luckely without casualties of the two occupants on board. A report of it (in French) can be found here.
