The second VH-INY was an ex Qantas machine (VH-EBL),
delivered new to Trans Australia
Airlines in 1946 as VH-TAC. In 1948 it was seconded to British
Commonwealth Pacific Air-
lines as
VH-BPA. It then went to Qantas as VH-EBL before going on to
Ansett-ANA in Jan
1961. Originally a 54 seat passenger machine, it was converted to
a freighter in 1966 .On 1
January
1970 it was sold in South Africa as
ZS-IGB serving the diamond mining industry. The
above photo,
from the CAHS archives via Phil Vabre, was at Essendon, probably taken
just
before it left
Australia. It was withdrawn from service in 1977 and stored at
Windhoek, SWA
and scrapped there a couple of years later.
