Another aerial view of Melbourne Airport during the 1973 strike, with the bigger airliners having to be parked wherever space can be found for them. Some of the parking spots for the smaller feederliners, mainly Fokker F-27s of Ansett, are empty, but would have been of little use to anything much bigger than a turboprop.

Bonanza Air Lines was the first of the 13 permanently-certificated Local Service Carriers to retire its DC-3 fleet, replacing them with Fairchild-built F-27As. Reflecting the type’s Rolls-Royce Dart turboprop engines, Bonanza dubbed them “Silver Darts”. Here a pair await their next load at Ontario Airport, California, in 1965, LAX having been fogbound, hence the presence of the United DC-8 freighter in the background.

Norwegian can trace its history back to 1966, when it was founded as Busy Bee. This name was dropped in favour of Air Executive Norway, though was re-adopted in 1980.

The carrier went into liquidation in 1992 and the present-day Norwegian Air Shuttle - which now trades as Norwegian - was formed from the remnants of Busy Bee in 1993.

Converted regional airliners can make admirable maritime patrol aircraft, offering useful cabin volume for operators and equipment, economical operating costs and low development costs. The Fokker F.27 Maritime Enforcer, in service with the Royal Thai Navy, is a classic example of how such an aircraft can be modified. It has been fitted with two stub pylons on the fuselage sides and six underwing pylons for a variety of stores including torpedoes, depth charges and rocket pods.
Fokker's F.27 proved successful worldwide. Not only was it popular with many airlines, but a number of air arms also ordered the type: the Royal Thai Navy, for example, operates the F.27 Mk 400M and a maritime patrol variant (pictured), the F.27 Mk 200ME Maritime Enforcer.
