Photo Comment

Ex-G-ALZX. VH-BUI was returned to the UK in August 1958 after Butler Air Transport was taken over by Ansett. Butler had ordered Fokker F.27s for its Queensland Air Lines subsidiary and Ansett decided it would be the future mainstay of its regional airline operations. They started flying on the former Butler network in December 1959. Photo via Ben Dannecker
