VH-EBE was used to carry cattle from Pakistan to Papua New Guinea, then under Australian rule, for a program to develop a better breed for hot tropical climates. The cattle were not allowed into Australia for biosecurity reasons. Biosecurity also meant the cattle had to be kept on the aircraft from Karachi to Port Moresby. While the location of the photo is not given, the airport is not Port Moresby so must be Karachi Photo from: National Library of Australia This photo was added on 12 May 2023, and has since been viewed 190 times. |
