Australian AvHistory

[YesterAirlines]

The photos I posted of the Ansett F28 a few days back got a good reception, and several people wanted more. The plan is to publish fleet pages for my Ansett and TAA fleets in the coming weeks. Before then, I've realised that I have written a lot about Aussie airliners at the avhistory blog but most of the posts are really old and need updating with new photos and better text, so step 1 is to go through and revisit those first.

I'll use this thread here to post the links. In the meantime here's the Aussie cabinet.

The first Australian avhistory blog to get a revisit is this one published originally way back in mid-2015. Since then I've doubled my TAA Viscount fleet so here it is updated with new shots:

I conclude the story of the Vickers Viscount in Australia with a look at the fall of ANA, rise of Ansett and delivery of the series 800. Once again this is an old 2015 blogpost extensively updated with new text, fleet stats and photos:

TAA's Prop-jet Dominance Pt2: ANA - Ansett

The Viscount allowed TAA to beat ANA but Ansett was waiting in the wings to take its place
