Could one of you historical aircraft buffs identify this aircraft type please?
That will give me a lead to the approximate year. The photo suggests "circa 1970" but if that aircraft has radial engines - which appears to be the case - the photo would be much earlier than 1970 as by that time TAA were operating Viscount, Electra, B727 and DC9 aircraft.
TAA radial engine aircraft were the Convair 240, DC4 and DC6B. If turbine engines the options were the Viscount and Electra.
My interest is not so much in the aircraft but in identifying when and where the Massey Ferguson MF35 was used on an Australian airport.
As it is fitted with lumpy ag tyres, rather than turf tyres, I'm wondering if it was a temporary "ring in", although it has a spark arrestor on the exhaust and DCA roundel on the rear guard?
Thanks.
