The above is a John Hopton shot taken at Sydney's Mascot
Airport, circa late 1950s. It was sold
in the USA in 1963
and
was one of several I noted derelict at Burbank Airport in
1964. Greg
Banfield saw it at
Mascot on 1 February 1963 with all Qantas titling, kangaroo, etc
removed.
Since the tail was missing
when I saw it at Burbank I cannot confirm that it was registered N93163.
After looking around
for bits of the tail for
several hours without success, I finally gave up. The hulk
was broken up in 1969.
