VH-MMJ Avro 652A Anson 1
Very few photos of
this Anson appear to exist. It is VH-MMJ "RMA Drysdale" and this shot was
taken at at Halls
Creek WA, by Colin Hayes (seen here via the Geoff Goodall collection)
circa 1952.
It was formerly W2015 in the
RAAF and civilianized in December 1946 as VH-AYQ. When purch-
ased by MacRobertson
Miller Aviation in 1949 it was re-registered VH-MMJ. MMA
based some
of its Ansons at Derby for
the Kimberley stations runs and also for their Royal Flying Doctor
Service
contract. This Anson
was sold by MMA to Carsair Air Service, Port Moresby in March 1958 and
re-registered VH-BIZ.
