Thanks Givelda,good history. Bushies did operate an islander for a while VH-BPV. The Trislanders were VH-BSP,BPH,BGS (yes,correct rego,) & BPB.The 1st 3 regos were short nose models but BPB was the long nose (nose locker). There was only ever 2 long nose varieties on the Aust register. The other one was VH-EGU operated by Eagle Airways at Bankstown. It met a sad end one night over the southern highlands of NSW. From memory it picked up a lot of ice & gravity took over. A freighter with 2 pob.
