                                           This was a relatively 'late model' C47A-85-DL when delivered to the USAAF in 1944 as
                                           43-15485.   It was not an ex-RAAF machine, and was not registered in Australia until 1948.
                                           After the take-over by Ansett, it did the usual stint of service with the parent company, Ansett-
                                           ANA, and also with Victorian Air Coach and Airlines of NSW.  The two shots below are

                                           in March 1964 when it was the official aircraft for the R. M. Ansett Brisbane-Adelaide Air
                                           Race and (lower) with Airlines of N.S.W. at Mascot in 1966.   VH-ING was withdrawn in
