I thought I'd fly the Milk run in Oz between YMML and YSSY on Monday night, and figuired why not take a slightly parochial route and fly one of AirWorks Toll Priority 733s. Only problem was do you think I could work out what call sign they use in Oz?

Seems from an old PPRUNE post that when they first started operating over there they used the aircraft rego's as callsign, eg ZK-TLA. I see domestically there is a Toll Freight callsign TFR but this doesnt seem to be used in Aussie. There's a wikipedia page that lists details about the operation but once again no callsign. So my question is, does anyone know for sure what callsigns are currently used by the 733 freighters?

Maybe I should ask this over at VATPAC?

The 733's use the toll freight callsign for the scheduled toll opeartions but they are also doing a lot of charter work and for that they use "SOLPAC". The 3 letter desinagtor for that is still in the pipeline.
A lot of the SOLPAC stuff is out of BNE to the Islands and PNG.
