After a week of downtime for
www.16Right.com with a 10Gb Bandwidth Exceeded issue, I now have the last of the photographs from the 1980s, this time Regional and General Aviation. It was interesting to see all the good old airline names again, lots of DC-3s, Nomads and Bandeirantes and even a Heron ot two.
So here we go ...
Bandeirante 110P1 VH-KIR at Moorabbin in January 1980 - Operated by Air Tasmania
Bandeirante 110P1 VH-FCJ at Maroochydore in November 1982 - Operated by Sunstate
Bandeirante 110P1 VH-WDI at Sydney in January 1981 - Operated by Air Great lakes
Cessna 402 VH-ROX at Sydney in July 1981 - Operated by Singleton Air Service. I think the yellow structure behind the tail is part of
the Runway 25/07 ILS.
Cessna Titan VH-TMX at Sydney in February 1982 - Operated by East Coast. East Wests F27 VH-EWO is in the background.
Heron DH114 VH-CLW at Tullamarine in January 1981 - Operated by Kendell Airlines - nice curtains.
Heron DH114 VH-KAM at Sydney in November 1982 - Operated by Avdev. This shot is in the GA apron, note how many GA tails, and not
corporate jets, are in the background.
Metro SA226 VH-KDR at Tullamarine in October 1981 - Operated by Kendell Airlines (the cigar tube)
Navajo PA31 VH-WGH at Sydney in December 1982 - Operated by Oxley Airlines
Shorts SD3-30 VH-KNP at Sydney in November 1982 - Operated by Wings Australia. I flew in one of a Shorts SD3-30s operating from
Brisbane to Maroochydore, very boxy inside but large windows. Hazelton Shorts SD3-30-60 VH-MJH had a left main undercarriage problem
on 19th May 1990, blocking Runway 16 for some time - fire tenders in attendance.
