                                                  This above shot was taken by Jennifer Gradidge at London Airport, probably as the aircraft
                                                  was staging through on its delivery flight in mid-1958.    It served with TAA from that year
                                                  until it was scrapped in 1970.   The lower shot by Barrie Colledge, taken at Essendon in
                                                  1959 shows the initial style of day-glo orange on the tail.   Day-glo paint jobs on aircraft was
                                                  all the rage from about 1959 to 1962 when it just sort of dropped out of sight (fortunately).
                                                  At the foot of the page is a Greg Banfield shot (including a close up of the tail with a clear rego)
                                                  of -TVM at Mascot in April 1964.  By then it was carrying "TAA - The Nation's Jetline" livery.
