Recently saw where an airliner mob in the US had a Convair with the pax seats, for sale 100K fly away.
Always fancied such a machine for as a TAA flying museum. Had a few trips Adelaide to Sydney and elsewhere as a kid.
The costs to just get it here, and ongoing maint., storage etc would make it prohibitive. And the "rules" etc would prevent paying pax as well, no doubt.
Alas I havent got to my first million yet.
No Kermit Weeks equivalent in Oz, unfortunately.
Ahh the sounds of yeasterday..
