VH-RMH - ANSETT-ANA - March 1959 to July 1970

Delivered new to ANSETT-ANA. Taken at Eagle Farm Airport, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia circa September 1966 with an ANSETT-ANA Boeing 727-77 landing.

Note the smoking Pratt & Whitney JT8D engines at flight idle which is now a thing of the past on modern engines.

This 'A' livery was never adopted on the Viscount.

The registration on the Viscount cannot be confirmed therefore the photo has been allocated here because of the nice comparison between the two aircraft types.
