Rare Ansett photo
A rare photo of the first S-61 for Ansett being towed from Port Melb to Essendon Airport in the early 60,s going through Moonee Ponds.

Nice find Paul.
Ansett also had 2 S-62A's in 1967 VH-ANA and ANE, ANA crashed in Bass Straight not long after delivery (del 12/7/67, cr 24/8/67). I saw ANE in SYD in 1973 and sadly this too had an accident at Polmaise Island, QLD on 26 May that year (del 12/5.67). (info from Tony Arbon's Historical Civil register of Australia) Not sure if your photo is one of these or did they have S-61's as well?
