VH-TRB  Transavia PL12 Airtruk                     (c/n 704)

                               

                                  Only a dozen or so of the 110 locally produced Airtruks were retained in Australia.  Most were
                                  exported.   One that saw home service was VH-TRB seen above in this shot by Geoff Goodall
                                  taken at Albury in May 1967 in the soft light just after dawn, as the Hazair pilot is about to depart
                                  for a day's work.   The image below, from the David Eyre collection, taken at Tamworth, NSW in
                                  December 1976, shows it with its previous owner, Airfarm Associates Pty Ltd.
