The Short Skyvan 2, a versatile and short-range transport aircraft, is depicted in the striking colours of Ansett-Mal, an Australian aviation company.

This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the Short Skyvan 2 in its prime, surrounded by the excitement and innovation of the airshow.
