1. Title: "GAF Nomad 24A VH-BRP: A Piece of Australian Aviation History at Benalla Aviation Museum" 2.. This evocative photograph captures the GAF Nomad 24A VH-BRP (msn 080) of BPA Bush Pilots Airways, a significant aircraft in the annals of Australian aviation history. First taking to the skies on 13 February 1978, this Nomad was delivered to BPA Bush Pilots Airways on 28 February 1981. The Government Aircraft Factories (GAF) Nomad 24A, a versatile and reliable aircraft, was designed for various roles, including passenger transport, cargo operations, and surveillance. This particular Nomad, VH-BRP, served faithfully in the Australian bush, providing essential air services to remote communities. As the decades passed, VH-BRP was eventually retired and found a new home as a static display at Benalla Aviation Museum in Victoria, Australia (11EFTS). The museum, which showcases a diverse collection of historic aircraft, is an excellent reminder of the rich heritage of Australian aviation. The Nomad's distinctive shape and rugged appearance are a testament to its enduring legacy. This iconic aircraft, with its wings outstretched and proudly displayed at Benalla Aviation Museum, continues to inspire awe and admiration from aviation enthusiasts and history buffs alike. This photograph, taken in the 1980s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era when the Nomad was a familiar sight in the Australian skies. As we reflect on its history, we are reminded of the vital role that aircraft like the Nomad played in connecting and serving the vast and diverse landscape of this great nation.
