VH-INK (2)
Aviation
Traders ATL-98
Carvair
(c/n 20/42994)
Two more nice shots from the Peter Gates
collection. VH-INK is seen here in its Ansett-
ANA
livery and also (immediately below) the final Ansett scheme.
Purchased as a DC-4
in
1964 from Japan Airlines (JA6012) with the purpose of
having it converted to a Carvair,
this
aircraft was sold off in
1976. It was stored for a couple of years at
Singapore Seletar
Airport and then went to New Zealand as ZK-NWA. It
was later purchased by Hawaii
Pacific Air
Inc as
N5459X and is reputed to be still current on the Canadian register.
At the foot of the page is a rare shot
of -INK as a DC-4 Cargomaster taken at Adelaide
in March
1964 by Bob Neate. A year later it
went off to Southend to
become a Carvair.
