• Melbourne Essendon Airport - YMEN, Australia

Windscreen View of Melbourne's Essendon Airport, taken from Sir Reginald Ansett's Bell 206A helicopter VH-AND, on a 10 minute hop from Tullamarine to Melbourne's Yarra Heliport in 1973. VH-AND was Sir Reginald's personal transport between his home at Mt Eliza and Melbourne. During the day, the aircraft was used to ferry passengers between Tullamarine and the Yarra Heliport. The fare was about $7, while the bus fare was $2. (A bargain, even with 1973 dollars.)
