I recall that Nationwide became a dealer for the Nomad, and Vic Walton toured the country demonstating their aircraft. There is ABC TV footage of a landing on 14 at Cambridge in which the aircraft stopped almost in its own lenght.
I believe one or two Tassy operators at the time showed some interest, but the lease terms offered by most finance companies were pretty steep. However, had they being a overseas company, the Government had special finance packages at a very low interest rate, similar to the original Embraer deals on the Bandit.
I am sure that if there had been better finance packages by the Government, more of the aircraft would have been sold to operators.
