Photo Comment

This is not the real VH-MSF! This Nomad is the former VH-RCC and was first flown on 12 October 1976. It was delivered to Bush Pilots Airways but was displayed by the manufacturer at the 1977 Paris airshow. It was used for a time on a scheduled Sydney-Maitland run with Clubair/Wings Australia. The aircraft was withdrawn from service in about 1990 and shipped to Broken Hill in parts where it was reassembled and painted to represent one of two RFDS Nomads that were once based at Broken Hill.
