Description: this second hand Cessna was on January 4 1979 via Leasing Belgium Equipment registered to Para Club Van Ons, based at Oud-Turnhout airfield. Here seen just after delivery at Brussels Airport in a livery without titles. In June 1981 it migrated to Para Centrum Oud-Turnhout, established on September 7 1978 and based at the same airfield retaining the same livery (was revised by 1990). On April 29 1990 it was damaged beyond repair when after takeoff encountering an engine failure, emergency landed and flipped over in a field at Ravels (Belgium), luckely without casualties of the four on board. Attempts for a repair at Grimbergen airfield failed and it was cancelled from the register on April 30 1999. Later the fuselage was used as eyecatcher on a road between Halle-Tubize (Belgium), last noted there in July 2002. On April 2 2018 the tail section was seen at Beersel (Belgium).
