VH-MMT  Douglas DC-3CS1C3G                                 (c/n  6353)

                                  

                                       Unfortunately the minuscule registrations adorning MacRobertson Miller Airlines of this era are
                                       practically unreadable in my 625 pixel reproductions.  They are, however, quite clearly legible in
                                       Geoff Goodall's original prints/negs.    The above photo was taken at Perth Airport in July 1968.
                                       MMA had a policy of naming their airliners to be in line with the last letter of their registrations,
                                       hence -MMT was named 'Turner'.    It was formerly VH-MJR and did not join MMA's fleet
                                       until June 1965.    It departed Perth on 12 October 1969 on delivery to Seulawah Air Service
                                       in Indonesia and became PK-RDG.     It was later sold off to Mandala Airlines changing its rego
                                       again, this time to PK-OSA (circa Jan 1978).    C/n 6353 was last noted somewhat derelict at the
                                       old Keymayoran Airport in Jakarta in April 1980, still in Seulawah markings.  No doubt scrapped
                                       when that airport closed.
