paulb Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Nice shot Martyn! Your F-27 had an interesting history - http://aussieairliners.org/f-27/vh-fnw/vhfnw.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 Thanks Jean Marc. I stayed at Dubbo in 2008 and did some photography at the airport but only REX there then. I did fly to Sydney on one of this planes sisters VH-FNT in 1983. This was the days before budget airlines and Ansett were flying F-27s between Melbourne and Sydney via Albury at a discount price. It took over 2 hours but the cheap price was worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Nice one Martyn, I like how low this plane is, it's a low-rider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jankees Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Nice shot! I flew one from Melbourne to Devonport once, no idea of its registration, though I do know it had a later paintscheme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
