Paul am not sure if they are still operating or not but can tell you they show up on webtrak when leaving Bankstown, when I last was on that site admittedly a number or months ago the CVLT left Bankstown and was headed for Melbourne shows up arriving down there too. Sorry I cant be of more help than that. Cheers Mark

Paul,
TOLL B733's have taken over the Adelaide flight I think it routes ADL-SYD-MEL-ADL. Last covair flight out of Adelaide was the 8th of June. |

Just checked my SBS d/b which shows PDW last entry 19th April and PDX 24th June.
I did visit Bankstown on 27th May and saw one Convair in the hangar with work being done.

There was a Convair parked on the tarmac minus rudder and engines last week. I wonder if it has been downgraded to spare parts. The other Convair looked active.
There was a Toll Turboprop ATR-42 parked there also. Perhaps this plane is taking over from the Convairs. |

Pionair Convair 580 VH-PDX was parked outside the hanger at Bankstown on Sunday 3rd July. Paul F. had word from a reliable source
that two of the Convair 580s are now owned by Toll (I am just trying to confirm this). See post http://yssyforum.net/board/showthread.php?t=7105 ![]()
