As youngster I flew in a MMA F-27 from Port Hedland to Perth in 1961– after having travelled the ‘milk run’ north in a DC-3. MMA’s F-27 fleet peaked at 10 aircraft.
Ansett took a controlling interest in MMA in 1963 and it was gradually incorporated (via Airlines of Western Australia) into the Ansett network and livery by 1984.
An interesting there is an interesting book by Reg Adkins (
I Flew For MMA (MacRobertson Miller Airlines) ), who flew DC-3 and F-27/28 over 30+ years. There are tabs on each of these aircraft at the top left and bottom gutter.
