VH-TOT, operated by the late Terry Burns on night freight between Launceston and Essendon around about 1986/87. Terry's son Peter flew it for a while before moving onto Ansett. In its day was pretty quick Pa-31, I think when they did the freight run they had an oxygen set up so they could get up in the mid flight levels to avoid ice. Not like the brave warriors in the Heron stuck down in the ice, while crossing Bass Strait withthe papers.

TOT was also the flagship for Malcom Catts Lincoln Airlines when it started up in late 1987.
