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
here 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.
