                                     This is an enlargement of the original image shown below of two Ansons rotting away at
                                     Archerfield in 1959, having failed a DCA glue bonding/adhesion test.  VH-BIE had come
                                     in from New Guinea where it had been operated by Carsair Air Service.   It was formerly
                                     W2172 with the RAAF.   This photograph is from the Geoff Goodall collection.
