Ah yes RMQ, another sad day for Viscounts.

I was on duty at Essendon the following day, it was a public holiday, new years day I think 1969.

I had one of the others, cannot remember if it was RMO or RMP, all ready to dispatch full of pax and DCA turned up and confiscated all the logs and paper work, they never flew again.

RMO was used for fire fighting practice, RMP was overhauled by Ansett for sale to an airline in Indonesia, all painted up in blue and white colours, then DCA refused to even let it be ferried, it ended up scrapped at Essendon too.
