This wonderful photo was picked up for a mere $2 and shows VH-BRC on the Derwent River at Hobart. The Ansett Sandringhams operated direct from Sydney Harbour while landplanes routed via Melbourne. When competitors' started a same-plane DC-4 service from Sydney via Launceston it cut the flying boat's time advantage to a mere 20 minutes (in a four-hour flight) while greatly reducing costs.

This is the centrepiece of the excellent Solent Sky Museum. The building is crammed with exhibits making this impossible to photograph in its entirety. I had last seen it as N158C in Puerto Rico in 1979

VH-BRC made three trips to Lake Eucumbene on charter to the Aviation Historical Society of Australia, this being the last. The lake was one of only three places within a convenient distance from Ansett's Sydney flying boat base suitable for the charter flights.

The departure of Ansett's flying boats marked the end of an era, not just for aviation but Sydney as well. It happened as Sydney was giving up its easy-living Australian lifestyle for the hectic pace of a world city. Peter Ricketts photo

VH-BRC came to Australia in 1950 from New Zealand, where it was ZK-AMH. After long service, mainly on the Sydney-Lord Howe Island route, it was sold in the US as N158C in 1974. The hangar at Rose Bay dated back to the C Class Empire flying boats.
