MWI looks like its ended its flying days at Tooradin.
Engines and props removed and sold to another QueenAir owner.
The fuselage, evidently, will be converted to some sort of synthetic trainer by a local flying school or organisation.
Alas poor old MWI - I knew her well. She was the one whose owner used to put her into the strip at Arkaroola. He was an ex-WW2 pilot, so that was a doddle as far as he was concerned! Rich as sin, but to look at him you wouldn't think he had more than a couple of dollars in his pocket. His wife on the other hand, well let's just say you needed the sunglasses on to hide the glare from all the bling! Wonderful people now long departed for the great hangar in the sky.
