 Great photo-another place I would love to visit. Slightly off theme but wasn't there one ,a Drover--ex Flying doctor service --stored at Blackpool. Seem to remember it had an Australian reg but was in a poor state when I saw it. The middle engine was missing. I think the aircraft was exclusively built for and in Australia but I have no photos as this was in the 1960s. Another conundrum .LOL

Re the Drover at BPL. I have two logged in June 1962 one UK reg G-APXX if the ink is showing correctly and also your Aussie one VH-EAZ I am sure they both were owned by ANT at Bpl. A Google of the reg brings up some nice pics of XX and also history of the Aussie one.  www.oldprops.ukhome.net/Drover%20Photographs.htm |
