VH-AND (cn 474) Rare 1973 view of Sir Reginald Ansett's Bell 206A helicopter VH-AND taking off from Melbourne's Yarra Bank Heliport, heading back to Tullamarine. I had just arrived after a 10 minute trip from MEL, which cost $7. (Compared to the $2 bus trip, that was great value, even in 1973 Dollars.) The Crown Casino complex now dominates the skyline where the 'Repco' and 'Coca Cola' signs appear. (Morley Ford then sold Falcon cars.) VH-AND is still flying in 2008! |

VH-AND (cn 474) View of Sir Reginald Ansett's Bell 206A helicopter at Tullamarine in 1973, before I joined the Pilot for a 10 minute hop to Melbourne. Sir Reginald travelled from Mt Eliza to Melbourne's Yarra Heliport each day in this helicopter. He was not given permission to land on the top of the Ansett Building in Franklin Street. During the day, the aircraft was used to ferry passengers between Tullamarine and the Yarra Heliport. This helo is still flying in NSW in 2008! Low res photo. |
