'Avalon Beach' over the threshold of runway 05 for its last landing ever. Although this Triple Seven was less than 15 years old at the photo date, it had been sold for parts and arrived here to be dismantled, with the engines to be removed the next day already. The final journey started in Darwin on 31 March with a leg to Muscat. Next day, VPD had diverted to Maastricht because the weather would not allow the mandatory VFR arrival here; on this Sunday it worked.
