TAA in 1967 on the FOKKER F27 'Friendship
My first flight was a TAA F27 from CBR-SYD with Dad, let's just say it was before Gough was in Power!
The ferry story is fascinating for all you vintage buffs.

The P166 would sometimes also call into Aitape on the way, an "interesting" landing towards the ocean.
I recall flying from Blackpool (BLK) to the Isle of Man (IOM) in the late 1950's on a Bristol Freighter.

Speaking of (the aquatic version at least)... Not exactly rare but the most unique plane I've flown on was this DHC-2 with an interesting history!Turbine DHC-2 Beaver landplane? I don't think there are/were many of those... back then anyway.
Were flown in NZ as Straits Air Freight Express - WikipediaI recall flying from Blackpool (BLK) to the Isle of Man (IOM) in the late 1950's on a Bristol Freighter. Very slow and noisy, but it got us there. Fairly rare too, I think.
