Anyone know how old the aircraft as i seemed to be producing enormous amounts of smoke during both taxi & take off. I arrived on a Rex flight this morning in Sydney & was lucky enough to taxi past it heading down to 34L.

Hi Jayden

It's one of the RAF's early ones which I think was delivered in 1968 or thereabouts. It was later converted to C3 standard but I'm not sure when.
