The Home of Photos in Dunnunda! Mk I

VH-RMN was given a total interior revamp about 6 months before Ansett disposed of the old girl, nifty flip down LCD screens for pax entertainment, sadly it wasn't around long enough for many to enjoy the benefits!

Still having size issues, but here is another one from the craftsmen at Avions Marcel Dassault.

Another couple from the past.

I think I'm getting the hang of it Chuck........

Anyone care to line up their fag PC12 against the Cheyenne 400?

[Trojan1981]

What a beast!

[j3pipercub]

Well, if you feel the need to compare prop sizes, what's that saying Peter

PC12 vs Cheyenne 400

Hey PF yeah, but only if:
1) they were both max pax,
2) SY to AS, and
3) the current one around the traps is out of the hangar!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Chimbu, who owned or operated Lord Howe Island Airlines ? Flew with Brian Peels Oxleys (later Impulse) and knew Greenies doomed Kentia, but can't recall this one. Thanks.

[Capt Fathom]

VH-IBF and IBC were originally operated(owned) by Norfolk Island Airlines.

In that photo, IBF is probably in the hands of Seaview Air.

[chimbu warrior]

Lord Howe Island Airlines was a division of Norfolk Island Airlines.

Picture was taken 22 years ago.

Cheyenne 400 is certainly very impressive, Pacific Aviation and Piper bought one to Australia in 1988 for demo flights.

Would like to see a Conquest with the bigger engine's and a Cheyenne 400 go head to head.

One up for grabs in the Trader, page 36. Beautiful machine.

Nice photo...post some more.

For the Fokker lovers......

I think there is only one F27 left flying in Oz now, on survey duties.

[Peter Fanelli]

Oct 10th 1983 was the last time I was on a Fokker, Adelaide to smashed mountain.
Airlines of SA.

[Towering Q]

Just for you Mr Fanelli...

FB, got the Victa snaps, but unfortunately most if not all of your contributions on the previous pages are replaced in my browser by a Photobucket Bandwidth Exceeded gif. I don't see anyone else complaining about this though it's a common complaint on many shared image websites according to Google who sadly didn't offer an appropriate solution. So I'm not sure if it's my browser (Firefox with add-ons) or my basic Photobucket account to blame, or if it's your Photobucket account that's locked me (and others?) out.

Or if you and your snaps are just too popular

[Update - some of the recent Victa pics are vanishing now! Bit like people fading out of photos in a Back to the Future!]

[Towering Q]

I don't think it's your browser V1OOPS, I'm seeing it too.

Looks like frigatebird has Photobucket issues.

[Jamair]

Those pix are ok on my PC.... Thanks Frigatebird! Gotta love the CASA approved paint shop complete with self-contained Level 3 respiratory protection..

The last F27 which was on Navy Lithographic survey duties based ex-CS is gone, replaced in that role by a Dash 8.

What did you have stashed in the aircon intake of the PC12 Towering Q?? (or is just an access hatch on that model?)
