McGilvray Aviation (West Wing Aviation) BN2A-21 Islander VH-WQA Pops into Rockhampton Airport

Very late on Saturday 23 December, McGilvray Aviation (West Wing Aviation) Pilatus Britten-Norman BN2A-21 Islander VH-WQA was noted calling into Rockhampton Airport from Townsville.

After taking on fuel, it departed to Archerfield where I assume it will be undergoing planned maintenance.

VH-WQA had arrived into Townsville from Mareeba late on Friday 22 December and I presume from planned flights that its journey South was delayed by a day.

Meanwhile, also popping into Rockhampton Airport, but much earlier on Saturday 23 December was Rolleston-based Cessna 310 VH-XBB.  It arrived from Consuelo Airport (South of Rolleston) and departed to Archerfield.
