VH-RMA seen here in a modified livery that was applied following changes to improve comfort to passenger. Ansett-ANA's modified aircraft were marketed as Electra Mk.II and the livery changes to reflect that these modifications are not to be confused with the more extensive changes made to Electras after two disintegrated in flight due to whirl mode. By the time the Ansett aircraft went through that more extensive program in 1961 the tail livery had been revised. Photo by: Ken Oram / Michael Oram
