MapMakers Turbo Aztec VH-COC used to come down to fly jobs in Oz, late 60s/early 70s. Boorooloola/McCarthur River area, Cape York and Qld map sheets, I remember.
After independence in '75 was P2-COC and later P2 -MAP.

Also back again prior to MM getting TU 206 SIB from SIL in 1977/8? for Oz ops. Finally went off flying on its own in the Jan 1986 super storm in BNE. Vale SIByl.!

You sure used to freeze yr bits off at FL250 siting behind that Wild RC8 and camera hole!
Aahh..the good old days...!

Qasco also had a Turbo Aztec in PNG...AYY ??...have some air to air pics of it near the Bena Gap somewhere. AEA Turbo Baron, mentioned elsewhere, was there for a while also.
