Fantastic images! I should be out of the Australian War Memorial after 5pm to get some photos of the buses.

Re: Buses 'n' Planes - Canberra Airport
Why does the Renault bus have a MACK written on it?

I find the "city views" of the business park buildings in the plane photos rather amusing ... it is Canberra after all.

Well, MACK Trucks Australia was an importer of the Chassis as far as I am aware. You will see a MACK Trucks Australia plate next to the Renault Vehicules Industriels plate.vlocity160 wrote:Why does the Renault bus have a MACK written on it?

The PR100.3a's are also badged as MACK, Which I believe is to do with politics more than anything (The MACK Badges are slowly disappearing off the 100.3's which is disappointing).
The buildings really make something of the airport, with our little terminal and such!kitkat271 wrote:I find the "city views" of the business park buildings in the plane photos rather amusing ... it is Canberra after all.

Good pics out at Canberra Airport, the tiger airways signwriting looks great and I think it is a shame that the MACK badges are being taken off some of the 100.3's at the moment.

Why bring up an old thread which is over a year old?
