(c/n 6122)
VH-AEV was released to TAA in June 1946. It was formerly a C-47-DK with
serial no
41-19479, and was TAA's third aircraft and named 'Kennedy' My
early shots, in this case 1954 (at Essendon) were not that good,
although higher-
resolution
images do show the name a little better.
-AEV went to Sunbird
Services in
1960 and was registered VH-SBI and named 'Manus'. Withdrawn
from service in 1972 it is now on display at the papua New Guinea
National
Museum at Goroka.
