VH-TVF      'Ernest Giles'                                                               c/n  49

                                        Essendon, 1956.

                                        Seems like most of my Viscount shots were taken on dull/cloudy days and lack contrast!   This
                                        Viscount  was also leased to Ansett-ANA under the 'two airline policy' scheme from 1960 to
                                        1967.   Nigel Daw's color rendition below was taken at Adelaide under much better conditions.
                                        Greg Banfield saw it (photo # 3) in full Ansett-ANA livery at Mascot in April 1963.    Upon its
                                        return to TAA from the lease it was sold to Keegan Aviation and, like VH-TVD, sold on to
                                        Flightspares Ltd who scrapped it in 1970.  The image at the foot of the page, from the Peter Gates
                                        collection, shows it at Southend, (U.K.) after its career in Australia was over.
