VH-ESI Piper PA-30 Twin Comanche B
(c/n 30-941)

Here's a Tamair
charter Twin Comanche being loaded at Tamworth in 1986.
First registered in
1968, it was ex
N7860Y. -ESI was written off after aborting a
take off due to wet ground at
Inverell North, NSW in February 1990.
The consequent overrun of the runway by some 50
metres resulted in a
collapsed port main wheel. I believe it was deemed beyond
economic repair.
