                                                  Formerly a Douglas C-47A-20-DL (42-23423), this aircraft became one of the first RAAF
                                                  Dakotas, being A65-5 (call sign VHCTE).  It spent much of its civilian life in routes emanating
                                                  from Adelaide, and in 1958 was sold to Guinea Airways.  In 1958 Guinea decided to re-
                                                  register all its aircraft, and VH-INB became VH-GAL.  However, just over a year later, in
                                                  January 1960, it was back as VH-INB when ATA's Airlines of South Australia began oper-
                                                  ations. .  In its final days it did a stint with Airlines of NSW and then reverted to the parent,
                                                  Ansett-ANA, in whose livery Peter Gates' second image, below, it is illustrated.  VH-INB
                                                  was finally broken up at Essendon in 1967.   Greg Banfield's shot, at the foot of the page,
                                                  shows -INB with Airlines of N.S.W.at Mascot in 1964.
