This Nord 262 was a familiar sight at Gatwick in the early 1970's. It was sold to Ransome as N26228 in 1975 and spent the next 12 years in the US. It was then sold in Australia as VH-HIX and was used by a variety of regional carriers before being withdrawn from use in 1995. Is now preserved at the Queensland Air Museum. Scanned from a slide.
