delivered to the Queensland Ambulance Transport

November that year. It replaced a Cessna 310D, also
registered VH-ATB (which be-
came VH-BTP) and was based at Cairns

Charters Towers
operations to Cairns and the board’s air ambulance service was no
longer needed.
VH-ATB was later sold
to Whitaker Air Charter, of Maryborough, Queensland in whose markings
David Carter
photographed it (above) at Eagle Farm on May 5, 1976.
It would pass to other
owners before being
withdrawn from use in December 1995. The Baron’s
fuselage is now among
the exhibits at the
Queensland Air Museum at Caloundra.
