Convair 240 / 340 / 440 Schedule
The
Convair twins were the first twin engine aircraft with a pressurised cabin to fly the
Australian skies. They were mainly operated on the less dense passenger routes as
the Douglas DC-6, with its greater capacity and range, was used on mainline
routes. The Convairs operated faithfully throughout their years of service and
were eventually replaced with the turboprop Fokker F-27
"Friendship". Three Convair 440's operated from RAAF Base Fairburn,
Canberra, for many years. Two belonged to the RAAF VIP Fleet and the other belonged
to the US Embassy.
