Also taken this day at Proserpine was Ansett's then new Convair 440 VH-BZF. The crowds may have turned out to see the new plane. Ansett owned the nearby Hayman Island resort. For a many years it received an Ansett flying boat service from Sydney via Brisbane. When landplanes took over, Proserpine became the transit airport holiday makers.

Ansett Airways adopted Braniff's livery rather than repaint undelivered aircraft originally intended for the US carrier. It remained the livery following the merger with ANA in 1957 until finally replaced in 1969. Braniff had changed its livery several times by then, sometimes boldly.
