                                        This shot is from the Barry Maclean collection and shows the second VH-MAB at Essendon
                                        just after being re-registered from VH-MAM in the early 1960s.  When the Dove was sold
                                        presumably the DC-3 was 'moved up the hierarchy' of registrations.     This aircraft was the
                                        Commonwealth Bank of Australia's VH-CBA.  Details of its history can be found under that
