VH-EBL  Douglas DC-4-1009                (c/n  43067)

                                   

                                        VH-EBL was delivered new to Trans Australia Airlines in 1946 as VH-TAC.  It was
                                        transferred to British Commonwealth Pacific Airlines in 1948 becoming VH-BPA.  Qantas
                                        acquired it the following year.  Since, at that time, these were all corporations owned, or
                                        at least governed, by the Commonwealth of Australia, these transactions were probably
                                        accomplished by a bunch of journal entries, rather than any actual cash transactions.
                                        -EBL was sold off to Ansett-ANA in 1961 becoming the second VH-INY.
