The new airport at Cooma, built to support the Snowy Mountains Hydro Scheme, was one the few regional airports in the Butler network able to handle the Viscount. The aircraft's weight was more than runways and aprons laid for DC-3s could handle. VH-BAT was reregistered VH-RMO following the Ansett takeover of Butler. Photo by: Joe Slosu

Ex I-TROS, arrived in Australia with New Holland Airways and carrying migrants. Sold to Butler which disposed of it in 1956. Went to the US where it became N55L. In Italy it had been fitted with an air stair, which appears to have been the rectangular forward half of the standard double C-47 door hinged at the bottom. It was markedly larger than the rounded airstair doors Butler had in its other former C-47s.

Butler Air Transport publicity photo. Arthur Butler made his tiny home town of Tooraweenah a hub for his airline. Traffic from towns in NSW and southern Queensland fed into the airport for DC-3 services to Sydney. Tooraweenah vanished from the world's airline maps with Butler but was for a while a base for gliding over the Warrumbungle mountains seen in the background of the photo.
