VH-TVH Model 756
'George Bass'
c/n 146
Essendon, 1958
Following the success of the model 720s, the airline placed a
'follow-on' order with Vickers
for half a dozen more
Viscounts. The first of these is seen above. Three of these
756 model
aircraft were
equipped with wing mounted slipper tanks enabling the aircraft to
operate the long
stage between Perth
and Adelaide over the vast expanses of the Nullabor Plain.
Greg Banfield
took a shot of
-TVH (below) at Mascot in 1964 when it was wearing the then standard 'TAA -
The Nation's Jetline' titling.
As I did for VH-TVG, I'll reproduce a close-up of the rego so
that viewers can see
that is was, in fact, really
VH-TVH! The Viscount was scrapped in 1970.
