"Islander" arrives in "white tail" mode

"Islander" arrives in "white tail" mode
"Islander", a Short Sunderland converted for passenger-carrying, as it arrived to return us from Lord Howe Island in June 1974. It is in "white tail" paint scheme (ie, the airline livery has been removed) because it was being taken out of service by the airline. Note the old wartime "Blitz" truck on the jetty and the surf on the reef beyond. This aircraft now is in the "Museum of Flight" in Florida, USA.

Happy Fence Friday!
