Remarks: A relatively new TAA Fokker Friendship on static display (promoting the Airline), during an Open Day at RAAF Point Cook 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 were'nt damaged as happened to TAA's F-27 VH-TFA at Avalon in 1961. This F-27-600QC, Named 'William Hovell', was delivered to TAA ex PH-EXB in July1970, and retired in Mar1988, then sold to Canada as C-FBDY. Registration VH-TQR is now on a QantasLink Dash 8.
Remarks: Returning to gate, after an engine failure on the take off roll, thank god it wasn't to serious, you can tell that the damaged engine no.2 as there is no motion on prop.(Canon 350D @90 mm)
