ANSETT AUSTRALIA

COMPLETE' ELEET LIST

by John Wilson

Ansett Australia today is the end product of a very large number of predecessors who contributed towards creating one of Australia's major airlines. This article presents a very brief history of the airlines associated with the creation of Ansett Australia and also details the fleet list, containing references to all aircraft (as can be identified by the author) which have been associated in some capacity with Ansett and its predecessors. The list does not propose to be complete. This is the first time a list has been published and it can be assumed that there will be aircraft not accounted for. The author would welcome additional information from readers. The aircraft have been listed by airline so as to give a clearer picture of the companies involved. Due to the size of the fleet list and space limitations, information such as previous identities, aircraft incidents, subsequent operators etc has not been included.

Some Contemporary Notes Herbert Joseph Larkin The material reproduced below was taken from two issues of “The Motor In Australia” [Vol. 14, No. 3 of 01 Sep 19 - pp.300-304 & No. 4 of 01 Oct 19 - pp.434-436], which was a Sydney-based monthly magazine primarily concerned with items relating to motor-vehicles in Australia, with a coverage fairly restricted to N.S.W. The “sole Proprietors, Printers & Publishers” were Atkins, McQuitty Ltd., of 16 Pitt St., Sydney, with one C. A. Jeffries as editor. The Melbourne Public Library has several bound volumes of this publication, commencing with Volume 13, which covers January to June of 1919. Individual issues averaged over 120 pages and these were cu­ mulatively numbered within each volume. A considerable portion of each issue was given to advertising of various kinds - as a consequence, most pages of text were on even-numbered pages, thus doubling the page numbers for any given article. Price per issue for all 1913 issues was 6d, remarkable value even then. For the period, a considerable amount of aeronautically-based information was published in this magazine. In the issue for May of 1919, it was announced that, in the near future, aviation-related matters would be discussed under the title of “Aircraft’ and later expanded into a separate publication as such; the first such separate section appeared in the June issue. This was the beginnings of “Aircraft’ as may be still purchased today. John Hopton

FORCED LANDING BY THE LATE AIR COMMODORE P.G.HEFFERNAN, O.B.E., A.F.C. The thought uppermost in the mind of every aircraft pilot is: "Will the engine keep going?" Complementary to this is: "What shall I do if it stops?" Nowadays the problem of engine failure has been When the aircraft was loaded, the compass had to be reduced to negligible proportions because jet engines are swung and a test flight carried out.

Snow, who was a Half-an-hour later, just on 1700 to be exact, a Demon fitter by trade before he did his pilot's course, told us that appeared, circled and landed.

My story would not be complete without some comment on the salvage of my original plane. The morning we left Cook, Snow Cooper and a gang of enthusiastic fettlers bearded the railway trolleys and set forth. The actual distance was fifty- two miles and the trolleys beat the utility by some fifteen minutes, as the track alongside the line was very rough and weaved its way through the limestone outcrops and the saltbush. The plane was towed to the line, the planks laid out, and It was manhandled on to the trolleys. All went well until a signal mast at Fisher, another small siding, was encountered, when it was found that the wing overhung the line so far that ifwould have fouled the mast. So the plane had to be taken off the trolleys, pushed around the mast and reloaded. This had to be done twice the pressure falling. But, as I have said, there was a lot of more for other masts but, despite these delays, they got latitude allowed in the operating pressures. Also, had the the plane back to Cook that afternoon. It was then moved engine failed if I had / attempted to return, I would have been in a very difficult bit of country. There Is only one habitation, Colonna station, and having looked at the country where I did land I am certain that the aircraft would have been wrecked had I come down anywhere else, and quite possibly I would have wrecked myself in the process. Moreover, salvage would have been almost impossible as there were no vehicular tracks between Colonna and Ceduna. At Cook we were lucky to have had the facilities and the cooperation of the locals. I know only too well that every pilot can execute everyone else's forced landings better than the pilot concerned, so all I can say is that, having made my decision, it came off and "all's well that ends well."
