The unhurried climb-rate of the Carvair (and DC-4) were very convenient for photographers

VH-INK makes an appearance at Sydney during daylight. The higher cabin compared with TAA's Fokker F27s made Carvairs the first choice for flying champion racehorses about the country. Normally the Carvairs were engaged in night cargo, particularly to Tasmania.

The apron in front of the domestic airline hangars was an exceptional place for aircraft photography. There were no fences, the taxiway serving the main east-west runway passed close and there was shelter from sun and rain. When the north-south runway was fully extended in 1972, passing traffic was only on days when the winds demanded it. Soon after the apron became a restricted area.
