Photo Comment

Morning departure of Sharp Flt 472 bound for Pt Augusta has just started its take-off roll on Rw 23. An extensive grass cutting operation was being undertaken over the whole airport but at the time of this photo, the runway edge hadn't been cleared. Ex Pearl Aviation Australia, note that compared to my earlier photo here, the Pearl logo that was on the vertical fin has been removed and the word 'Pearl' has been removed from the operator title leaving just 'Aviation Australia'. VH-OYB was registered to Sharp Aviation on 15 January 2020.
