Beech
200 VH-FDA of the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia (Queensland
Section) at Bowen, Qld on 28 April 1999. The aircraft had served with
the NSCA as VH-NSD and was the first aircraft modified with the inward
opening door. Following the collapse of the NSCA, the aircraft was registered
to the RFDS as VH-FDA on 14 February 1997. Curiously, the aircraft retained
the NSCA inward opening door and the bubble observation windows during
its RFDS service. Note the absence of folded steps on the inside of
the large cargo door and the consequent use of a folding step ladder
with which to board the aircraft. www.nsca.adastron.com |
