Hobart has a seaplane again

[Marty_d]

At work yesterday and today, I heard the rumble of a radial and raced to the window to see a DH Beaver going over and turning base somewhere over the Derwent.

 

I was a bit curious because the last Beaver that used to park at the wharf disappeared a couple of years ago.

 

Anyway, a quick Google and it looks like there's a new player in town!

 

All the best to them and hope they capitalise on the flourishing tourism market.  During the summer season we quite often have 2 cruise ships at a time moored at the wharf (I know, not a lot compared to the big cities, but you have to remember Hobart is only 200,000 people - we're more like a large town) - so offering scenic flights to elderly Americans seems like a very viable concern.

If you are in the market for a great amphibian then please let me know.  I am bringing Aventura sea planes into Australia now.
