Photo Comment

On static display during the Federation Airshows in the Outback in front of the historic Qantas hangar. Allocated the US registration N102EP but re-registered new in Australia as VH-FDP(4) 'John Flynn' for the RFDS on 6 November 1985. A few months after this photo was taken, on 19 November 2001, it was replaced by a new Pilatus PC-12 registered VH-FDP(5). Returned to USA as N277SW. Cloncurry was the first flying doctor base and Q.A.N.T.A.S. operated the first service on contract in 1928.
