Visiting the Tower to meet The Voices (with a French Accent),
La Tontouta









Old Photos
Perhaps the Tech Crews from Vanuatu and Nouvelle Caledonie could post some recent ones of their ATR-72's at work to enlighten the Aussies..

Frigatebird have you tried putting those old red-ish photos through photoshop? One click of the auto-tone and auto-colour and they look good as new with more greens & blues

Have a close look you can see the rib stitching, seems not very likely but do a bit of loogin at some details of the Corsar and yool see. Don't know about the last ones with the 4360 in them but most certainly in the earlier ones.

By jove Supercecil, you are right!
Its been so long I cant remembry
The canopies were left open so little boys like Tin could play in 'em



The shed they melted most of em in



Every cow-cocky in the district had a farm trailer with P-40 or Corsair wheels



I likes this photty




Here they were before the delivery flight

I'd loike one of those with the fold up wings, so I could trailer it home between flights, stick it in a shed, and save on airport hangarage..
The original older DH 60's USED to be like that.
