VH-TVI Vickers 756 Viscount "Matthew
Flinders"
(c/n 147)
The nice color image above is from the Greg Banfield
collection, Mascot 1966, while below is
another Peter Gates shot at
the Gold Coast Airport at Coolangatta on a rather wet winter's day
around about the same time. During this period Viscounts wore the
"The Nation's Jetline" titling.
VH-TVI was delivered in 1956 and
sold to
Australian Aircraft Sales at the end of its career in
1969. Evidently no market was found for it, since it was
scrapped a year later.
