IIIIII rememberrrr ....
Travelling SYD - Norfolk in an EWA F27-500 ....
The first 6 passenger rows were removed and replaced with tarp covered freight.
I also remember that on the return leg, the aircraft was taxied back behind the bitumen runway to nearly the boundary fence, the brakes jammed on, the dog whistles screaming ... then brake release ...and getting airborne just before going over the cliff at the end of the (old) runway.
They were great days ...
