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.
