VH-TVL
Vickers 756D Viscount 'James Cook'
(c/n 197)
The above shot
was taken by Chris Finney at Adelaide
International Airport in the
early 1960s. VH-TVL was delivered in 1957 in the then
standard livery (as seen
on VH-TVH).
The above markings would have been applied somewhere around
1960. The aircraft was withdrawn from use in 1969 and was
to have been preserved
at the Toowoomba Aviation Museum,
in Queensland. In the event, it is lying in a
sad and derelict
state in an industrial yard
adjacent to the Toowoomba Airfield, as
the image from Grahame Higgs (below) illustrates:
