Thread: Name that aircraft?

Piaggo P166 I think. See http://www.p166.com/

Yes. Not uncommon in parts of Australia in the 1960s, for example with Queensland Airlines. Its descent from the P136 amphibian is clearly shown from the pusher props and gull wings (sold in the USA under the Trecker name).

Is that at Uralla?
