Trans Australian Airlines was one of the first airlines in the world to add the then revolutionary Vickers Viscount to its fleet. It was the first aircraft to be equipped by TAA with a pressurized cabin, resulting in a more pleasant flight experience for passengers. TAA ordered a total of 16 units, which were delivered between 1954 and 1964 and used until 1971. In the late 1950s, TAA introduced a new livery in which the tails of their aircraft were painted bright orange. The luminous paint was introduced with the aim of making the aircraft easier to spot in the sky and thus increasing safety. The polished aluminum that was common until then tended to reflect the colors of its surroundings, making the aircraft more difficult to see. The “Day Glow” paint was only used for about three years.
