                                  This former Netherlands East Indies Ryan (S-57) was impressed into RAAF service in WW II
                                  as A50-6.   Civilianized in September 1945, it crashed at Geelong on 25 August 1946.  Today
                                  it would have been lovingly restored and all dressed up as a 'warbird'.  The rare shot of it above
                                  is via the CAHS archives.
