Google just the rego and you more often than not find photos 'vh-syu' for example :ok:

higher resolution pictures from "all over" from private collections that may have more detail on the cartoon quokka and the the colours on the top of the wing etc

I am sure one of these Islanders had the "Quokka" on the fin at one stage, I am trying to find evidence of that

Here's one of VH-HPL, but it has the Quokka on the nose:

Seeing HPL brings back memories, used to get $50 a return run flying that ol'girl backwards and forwards from Rotto.:ok:

Had a fully castering nose wheel which meant the x-wind max was lifted to 35kts (from memory). Good thing too as sometimes you needed every bit of it at Rotto when the Freo Doctor was in!:p

DE thanks for the memories!:D
