One of my favourite aircraft types, the Ansett Fokker Friendships.
Apart from that fantastic ferry flight half way round the world, my first ever jump seat ride was in one, out of Essendon down on the ''Islands Run", back in 1969.
Also had some odd trips with them, like the night we were going up to Bundaberg from Brisbane, and we had an RAAF Hercules and some other aircraft following us because an unidentified aircraft, believed to be carrying drug runners, was sticking VERY close to us trying to avoid being seen on radar.
