VH-ABR     'Kanana'                                                                          c/n  2029

                            This is a pre-War DC-3-232A fitted with Wright Cyclone engines.   It was originally delivered to
                            Australian National Airways in October, 1938 and named "Kanana".   During the war it saw service
                            with the RAAF as A30-3.    It is seen above at Essendon in 1955..  It is Australia's oldest airworthy
                            'real' DC-3, the oldest being VH-ANR which is static at the Queensland Air Museum at Caloundra.
                            Seen below is a nice Peter Gates color shot of it in latter days in Airlines of South Australia livery.
                            Beneath that is a contemporary shot by Martyn Covey taken at the Point Cook Air Show in February,
                            2009, wherein it is dressed up in immediate post-war Ansett livery (although it never flew with the
                            original Ansett Airways).
