VH-JVN used to be Air Charter's C310. When they received the F406 it was initially registered VH-RCB (along with Aussie Air's F406 VH-RCA). When Air Charter got rid of the 310 the rego VH-JVN was transferred to the F406.

Of course as you can well imagine, the turbine drivers aren't happy about having to fly that!

Parafield - Those Were The Days
Ah yes Parafield.
If it wasnt for the sterling efforts of the Cessna and Piper salesmen together with the "Investment allowance" and legendary lunches ..., I doubt there would be the population of lighties for folks to play with today.

Honest Sam....I do believe that was how he refered to himself....Yes the big man now enjoying the golf links on the GC.
KP......Christ, the last time I heard of him he was selling Cadys in NY
.....Worked with him at Bankstown, where he and his offsider became affectionately known as Dodgy 1 and Dodgy 2......No disrespect intended if you read this KP
Had lunch (read paid for) with Sir Rolo Kingsford-Smith at a place in Elizabeth. The name escapes me, but it was the favourite haunt of myself and AK and others in the "day"
