The recent acquisition by HARS of a Convair 440 painted in TAA colours made me wonder if TAA and Ansett Convair 440's came equipped with airborne weather radar.
The RAAF had two Convair 440's in the Sixties. One with a blunt nose had no radar and used to get beaten up by Cb's. The second Convair thankfully had radar (hence the longer nose).
I recall that after the Ansett Viscount crash into Botany Bay in 1961 after a thunderstorm penetration (that Viscount did not have radar) DCA mandated all turbine equipped passenger airliners must be fitted with weather radar(

Were the TAA and Ansett CV 440's equipped with radar?
