Photo Comment

slide from E. H. Greenman. - One of the Friendships which survived! In 2024, it was restored as "VH-TQN" in TAA colours (which it never really was) and displayed by the Australian Historical Aircraft Restoration Society at Shellharbour in immaculate condition. In its active life in the US, the turboprop flew for Midstate, Chicago Air, and for Suburban in Allegheny Commuter and USAir Express colours, before being sold to India and finally to New Zealand.
