Ansett L188 Electra at Sydney
Well almost at Sydney... lights ablaze, it's Romeo Mike Delta on approach to Sydney's rwy 16, circa 1976. These Lockheed Electras were originally Ansett's mainline pre-jet era fleet, and in effect an insurance policy in case the 727s couldn't cut the mustard. But they did, so the L188s were gradually pushed onto out-of-peak services, and finally onto late night cargo duties. Being turbo-props they evaded Sydney's night jet-curfew.
