TAA's first Viscount was delivered to the airline's Melbourne/Essendon base on 13 October 1954, to be greeted by a large crowd. However, VH-TVA never entered regular service as it was lost in a training accident at Mangalore a fortnight later, on 31 October. (CAHS/Mac Job collection)

To the best of my knowledge this is the only image of the QANTAS Electra VH-ECD shot during its lease to TAA from 8 March 1960 to 9 September 1960. Note the aeroplane is wearing the period "Dayglow" TAA tail while still retaining the white under window cheatline of the QANTAS livery.
