The twice daily all ports milk run from BNE to CNS code shared with Ansett, and normally operated by a Flight West Dash 8, due shortage of capacity, Ansett operated the service with an Ansett Express F-50.  Examples were rotated during the month , with VH-FNB seen here on turnaround.

Four Macchi's from 76Sqn, Williamstown, stayed over the w/end of Mar 26th parking on the GA ramp.


RAAF/AWM C-47 VH-CIN (A65-71) OM N, (c/s Heritage 125) dropped in on its way back from Nadzab in PNG on Mar 16

Compass MkII ceased operations on Mar 11, here MD-82 VH-LNI is seen lining up for RW33 a week prior the collapse.

NASA DC-8-72 (717) called in on one late evening during a mission out of TSV on Operation Toga Coare.
