Very shiny and new, having first flown August 24, 1959. Built as a Viscount 816 for TAA but never delivered to them. Modified to V.836 in April 1960 and delivered to Union Carbide & Carbon as N40N the following month.

VH-TVC seen from the balcony of the former control tower that had become the TAA terminal at Sydney. The building still exists but now largely hidden by countless expansions of the terminal over the past 60 years. Qantas is the current tenant. To orientate those familiar with the airport in the 21st century, the international terminal now occupies most of the background.

Cootamundra's location midway on Sydney-Melbourne railway line made it the final stop on the 1934 UK-Australia air mail service. Flying mail direct to these major cities was seen as a threat to the railways, which were owned by the states and unionised. Butler Air Transport DH84s picked up the mail from Qantas at Charleville. The arrival of Empire flying boats on the route in 1938 ended Cootamundra's (and Charleville's) role.

After service with TAA it was sold to Keegan Aviation in the U.K. but never flew again. It was broken-up by Ali Ingots Ltd in February 1970. Here she is seen under tow at Southend after arrival back in the U.K.
