VH-INK (cn 42994/55/20) Rare photo of both Ansett Airlines ATL-98 Carvairs awaiting sale at Tullamarine in 1974. VH-INK is at left and VH-INM is at right. VH-INK was built as a DC-4 in 1946 and converted to a Carvair in 1965. She joined the Ansett fleet in 1964 and served for nine years. Sadly, as N898AT she crashed at the Nixon Fork Mine near McGrath, Alaska on 30May2007. Both crew survived with minor injuries. VH-INM was the 21st and last DC-4 converted to a Carvair. She is now stored at Rand Johannesburg, without engines. |

N898AT (cn 42994/55/20) This lovely aircraft was written off on May 30 exactly one month to the day that I shot this photo. It crashed on landing at the Nixon Fork Mine a private airstrip 30 miles north of McGrath. Fortunately, neither Roger Brooks or his F/O Jonathan Hathaway were injured in the crash. |

N898AT (cn 42994/55/20) One of only two flyable Carvairs in the world is seen here in a glorious take-off... A very rare and wonderful sight (and sound)! This beautiful oldie has seen a lot of the world: it flew as LN-IAE, JA6012, HL4003, VH-INK, N54598, ZK-EWA, N5459X and C-GAAH, before ending up with Brooks Fuel in late 2002. Roger Brooks did a great restoration job on it, but then unfortunately crashed it near McGrath, AK on 30 May 2007. |

N898AT (cn 42994/55/20) This is in fact what the aft upperdeck interior looks like in Brooks' Carvair. There's probably no inflight service nor entertainment, but hey, who needs that when flying in a Carvair! |

N898AT (cn 42994/55/20) Terrible aspect of this old beauty, but it is not been broken up, but repaired in Fairbanks to fly this year in Alaska, like a pipes freighter. It was the number 20 of the 21 Carvairs. Ex C-GAAH, N5459X |
