Australia


VH-RMJ - Ansett Transport Industries (Operations) Pty Ltd - December 1969 to May 1970

Title transferred from ANSETT-ANA. Taken at Essendon Airport, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia in March 1970 minus titles.

The cheatline is stepped down under the cockpit compared to VH-RMG (C/N 414) and VH-RMK (C/N 355).

Note the other Viscounts in the background.

It looks like the Rolls-Royce Dart RDa7 Mark 525 engines are about to be ground run as there is a Ground Power Unit (GPU) correctly placed behind the engines to avoid ingestion of hot exhaust gasses, which can affect the power readings.
