Southern Handler,
Southern had them based in MIA and EN, both in RPT and Aerial Work on the Air Ambulance. I still hear LAD quite regularly around the traps doing survey work. Christ it must 30000hrs plus on it by now.

LAD and LAM still both going strong, beutiful ships.
In fact LAM is supporting a nice new paint scheme!
Aye Ess, that is an amazing painting
Feel sorry for folks who never got to fly a mighty Titan!

...most readily identified by their belief that the Chieftain is a good aeroplane!
Yes, I have met a few of those confused individuals.
Fortunately have managed to avoid the displeasure of spending too much time in one
so far!

That paintings a beauty!
404s were, are still, a great aeroplane. They look like the were built to fly for ever. I wonder how many times VH-HMA has been around the block? It used to be a Bushies machine. Her Majesties' Aircraft has been flogging around The Top End for years, and is still flying regularly. IIRC it was once BPM and did two wheels up landings in DN when Air North had it. After the second rebuild it was a very sweet aeroplane - must have a heap of hours on the airframe now.

Airline of Tas (Par Avion) have been running 404's for a very long time, around Tasmania and through to Essendon prior to Sharp taking over the route. WZM & CCN are both fitted with de ice boots.
Both aircraft haven't seen a lot of work, mainly the Launy - Cape Barren run a couple of times a week. Good luck to them, as others have tried and failed.

Slight thread drift! There was a Cheyenne 2 that operated out of YMEN in the early to mid 80's VH-TNZ. I'm not sure what it was re registered as but it was allegedly blown up in a YMMB hangar I think. Nice machine it was too!
We've made a committment to the service for a number of months and we will see how it goes - the numbers I'm happy with one month in
Anywho I'm not going to debate this on pprune, I'm just reiterating we aren't looking at withdrawing services and I'm quite comfortable with the passenger numbers so far
