VH-MCO
Piper PA-30 Twin Comanche B
(c/n 30-950)
Country Air Services Pty Ltd had been incorporated back in
1958 by the McCamley family, prom-
inant pastoralists in
Central Queensland. In 1961 the company was purchased by
Don Millroy and
expanded
considerably. A wide range of Piper types was used in its not
inconsiderable fleet. By
the late 1960s when this
Twin Comanche was acquired, Countryair was providing passenger and
freight charter services
out of their Rockhampton base to a wide area of Central Queensland. The

1966 model
(the first Twin Comanche
with the third cabin window) and was previously N7844Y.
