VH-TFB   Fokker F.27 Friendship     'Abel Tasman'                        c/n  10112

                                 As Phil Vabre said, when he contributed this shot:  "They don't fly 'em like this any more!".  Geoff
                                 Goodall identifies the venue as Parafield, probably late 1959.
                                 On June 10 1960, VH-TFB was on final approach to Mackay Airport, Queensland at night and in
                                 foggy weather when it flew into the ocean south-east of the airport.   29 passengers and crew lost
                                 their lives.   It was the largest loss of life in an Australian aircraft accident and TAA's first since its
                                 foundation 14 years earlier.  .
