Relatively new Trans Australia Airlines (TAA) Fokker Friendship F27-600 VH-TQR Cn 10440 on static display (promoting the Airline), during an Open Day at RAAF Point Cook YMPC in December 1974. The pilot appears to have his children (and Esky) with him as visitors enter the aircraft cabin to check out the interior. Hopefully the cabin fittings weren't damaged as happened to TAA's First F-27, VH-TFA, at Avalon in 1961. This F-27-600QC, Named 'William Hovell', was delivered to TAA ex PH-EXB in July 1970, and retired in Mar 1988, then sold to Canada as C-FBDY. Registration VH-TQR is now on a QantasLink Dash 8.
