Lockheed L-188 Electra (VH-RMC)
Adelaide, South Australia, June 23, 1983. Ansett Freight Electra rolling on runway 23 on a daylight flight with prop tip vortices forming in the damp air.
Comments
Normally, cargo flights were overnight and as has been discussed on earlier posted photos, the aircraft were nicknamed Wombats due to their mainly nocturnal services and were decorated with a wombat image below the cockpit windows. For those who don’t know, a Wombat is an Australian marsupial, usually active at night.
Another nice memory Gavin!
Great memory Gavin! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Mike and Darryl.
Omg,,,,,,I love it ....
They carried a lot of race horses. They had limited seating (including with 3 windows) in the forward cabin for the horse's handlers.
Classic - I've never seen a photo of an Electra in Ansett colors,,,5x!
Steve, Chris and Tom - thanks for the comments.
Thanks for that info Chris. I never heard about that 'cargo'.

Cheers Gavin! I'm sure it was a lucrative trade for the company.

Obrigado Alexandro
A great classic.
I have a co-worker who was based at Whidbey Island Washington US Navy.
P-3 Orion Duty in the early 2000's.
Lots of sonabuoys dropped.
