VH-AWD (1) de
Havilland D.H.104 Dove (c/n 04091)
This photograph is so poor I
debated even putting it out here at all. However, it is the only
image I have of an Airlines (WA) Ltd. Dove in
'latter day' markings. This differs from its
original markings (see VH-AZY)
in that the airline name appears above the cabin windows.
I would appreciate it if any
viewer has a better shot of an Airlines(WA) craft which I could
present.
Airlines (WA) Ltd received six Doves in all, and were the first airline
to use them in
regularly scheduled service. Some
were acquired by MacRobertson Miller Airlines when
that concern took over Airlines (WA), and VH-AWD was
one of them, becoming VH-MMO.
