Photo Comment

Owned by Williams General Aviation (Williams Airlines) this and other Navajos were used by SANTOS in support of their oil and gas fields in South Australia, this example named after one of those fields. A lot more information is available in a book titled 'Adelaide-West Beach Airport' by Nigel Daw if you can find a copy (published 1982, there were only 1000 printed).
