VH-RMC gets the morning sun outside the Ansett-ANA hangars. The Ansett-ANA livery was based on Braniff's early 1950s colour scheme. In 1954 Ansett Airways bought an undelivered Braniff Convair 340 and merely changed the titles. It was a livery that with minor adjustments would last Ansett until 1969.

Looking much nicer with a fresh re-paint than when I photographed her 2 years ago! 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 Moorabbin. Sold to Motif Air, Melbourne, 12 Jul 70. Eventually became derelict at Bankstown.

A blast from the past! This aircraft was originally registered OK-OHC but came to Australia in 1962, the only one of its type ever to do so. After a spell on charter operations, it was acquired by Ansett-ANA. It spent 1966 in New Guinea operating with Ansett-MAL. Withdrawn in 1967, it passed through a succession of private hands until ending up at HARS for restoration and re-painting in this attractive original scheme. Seen here at Wings Over the Illawarra 2011.

No aerobridges, no pushback, just taxi in and taxi out. Sydney was Australia's busiest airline hub in 1966 but the activity paled by US and European standards. The positive for a boy with a basic camera was no security and you could walk onto the apron to take a photo.
