Remarks: Forward cabin of Twin Pioneer VH-EVB, while open to visitors at the Wedderburn Sport Aircraft Club Open Day on 04Nov2012. The interior of this aircraft (Built 1962, First Registered in Australia on 07Jan1982) is a bit ‘Spartan’. I first saw this aircraft at Canberra in Mar 1988. (Wedderburn Airfield (YWBN) is a private airfield located near Campbelltown NSW, at about 870 ft AMSL.)

Remarks: This Twin Pin was delivered new to the Royal Malaysian Air Force on 28 May 1962 as FM1066. It was later given the Malaysian civil registration 9M-ART before coming to Australia, where it was re-registered VH-EVB on 7 January 1982. It's recently undergone an extensive restoration. Seen here at Wings Over the Illawarra 2011.
Remarks: Air Atlantique's classic Twin Pioneer 3 glides in over the active here at RIAT 2007 with a pilot who obviously has enjoyed a pie or two using an interesting method of looking out of the window and straight down to try and hit the centre line. In the end he put it down with one wheel on the grass and the other just shy of the centre line to the crowds amusment and his obvious embarrasment as grass was kicked up by the tire.
