Photo taken 'in flight' between Lae Airport and Mt Hagen Airport, aboard RAAF 38Sqn Det A Caribou A4-264 (based at Port Moresby).

A4-140 / 140 (cn 140) Rare low res 1964 photo of the RAAF's second (and oldest) Caribou aircraft (Callsign VM-JMB), which was Delivered to 38 Squadron, Richmond, in March 1964. The new aircraft was displayed at the 1964 RAAF Laverton Airshow, one month after the RAAF Transport Flight Vietnam (RTFV, later 35 Sqn) became the First RAAF Unit deployed to Vietnam on 08Aug1964. This aircraft is still in Service, with 38 Squadron Townsville, where I also photographed her on 27Sep2009. She is about to retire after 45 years Service. |

A4-236 / 236 (cn 236) Close cropped view of the nose of 38 Squadron Caribou A4-236. She was on static display at the ADF Open Day at RAAF/Army Base Townsville late in Sep2009. She had celebratory Logos: '45 Years of Operations' on the nose (and '1964-2009 - 45 Years Service to the Nation' on the tail.) A4-299 at rear is similarly adorned.

EP-RAJ (cn 52) At the Aerospace Exhibition Center. This reg is not true! It had 553 on the nose, but when this insurance Co. rented this old beauty, they painted the fuselage and wrote a spurious reg! |
