Here's the characteristic gull-wing of the 'Pig'. Registered new as G-APYP on 8 Mar 60. Imported into Australia for MMA and registered VH-MMP(2) 'RMA Pilbara' on 3 Feb 64. Used for charter work. In '69 it was due to charter for Ansett Airlines of PNG, but broke down at Horn Is on the ferry flight to New Guinea. After remaining there for 5 weeks, ferried to Bankstown, then Moorabbinn. Sold to Motif Air, Melbourne, 12 Jul 70. Eventually became derelict at Bankstown. This photo is copyright © Phil Vabre, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
