Reg Ansett's first flight took off in 1936, marking the start of Ansett Airways. The flight was in a Fokker Universal monoplane, a single-engine aircraft with a 6-8 passenger capacity, and it flew from Hamilton to Melbourne, carrying mail and a few passengers.
Planespotters love photographing aircraft in themed livery. Specially painted aeroplanes in stunning designs celebrating events, cultural themes or just well-funded advertisers. I gathered a collection of photographs and postcards depicting a selection of notable themes.
Why do airlines paint their aircraft in special themed liveries and what are some notable examples?
