I was trying to recall just when it was we did that, best I can recollect it would of been 1977 or 1978.
As well as "Ayers Rock" and the "Coral Islander" there was to be a third aircraft painted up for Tasmania, with their (new Hobart) casino and the like.
I believe it was to be called "The Apple Isle" but as history records it never happened.
I don't know if it was true, but at the time we were told that the painting program was halted as Ansett complained, "Two Airline Agreement" and all that, that we were not permitted to paint our aeroplanes "different".
