A89-275
photographed off the north Queensland coast while being flown by Flg
Off Ron Green and Flg Off A. Tremain. The print is dated February 1963
which, if accurate, demonstrates how quickly the original semi-gloss
Seaplane Grey finish had deteriorated since the aircraft was delivered
only one year earlier. A89-275 was repainted in the gloss light grey
scheme in May 1965. Note also that kangaroo roundels were carried only
on the fuselage. Picture:
