This is the real VH-UTO, destroyed in a hangar fire on 28 February 1939. The "VH-UTO" preserved at Hamilton, Victoria is in fact a Fokker F.XI, restored as a replica of the real VH-UTO. Photo from: Kevin O'Reilly.

Also taken this day at Proserpine was Ansett's then new Convair 440 VH-BZF. The crowds may have turned out to see the new plane. Ansett owned the nearby Hayman Island resort. For a many years it received an Ansett flying boat service from Sydney via Brisbane. When landplanes took over, Proserpine became the transit airport holiday makers.

Following the merger of Ansett and ANA, Ansett's Convairs operated through Wagga on a Melbourne-Wagga-Sydney service. In August 1957 VH-BZE was painted in Butler Air Transport livery. Butler had come under the control of the merged airline.
