Thanks for that .. I go to that site often but I am after

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

cheers

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.

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!

DE thanks for the memories!
