EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the GAF Nomad 22B VH-MSF (msn 069) of the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS), an iconic aircraft that graced the Australian skies during the 1980s. The Nomad 22B, manufactured by Government Aircraft Factories (GAF), first took to the air on 13 February 1978, and was delivered to the RFDS on 6 August of the same year. The RFDS is a renowned Australian organization that provides essential medical and emergency services to remote and rural communities across the vast expanse of the country. The Nomad 22B, with its distinctive design and versatile capabilities, played a crucial role in the RFDS's mission to deliver life-saving care to those in need. With its short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities, the Nomad was able to access even the most remote and challenging airstrips, making it an invaluable asset to the organization. The aircraft, which can be seen here in its RFDS livery, remained in service with the organization until it was sold in January 1999. Over the years, it transported medical personnel, supplies, and patients to and from various destinations, saving countless lives in the process. This photograph is a testament to the vital role that the GAF Nomad 22B played in the RFDS's mission to provide essential medical services to the people of Australia's outback. Its legacy continues to inspire and remind us of the importance of access to quality healthcare, no matter where one may live.
