VH-GAK Douglas DC-3CS1C3G
(c/n 13624)
This was the fformer VH-ANW.
In
1958 Guinea Airways decided to re-registered their DC-3s
in the
VH-GA- series. When this carrier became part of the Ansett
Transport Industries conglom-
erate,
the DC-3 reverted to its prior registration of VH-ANW (in January
1960). The shot above
was taken by
John Hopton at Essendon in 1958. Below is a nice
color image of -GAK at Port
Lincoln sent by
Bernard Morey showing himself (as a six or seven year old?) arriving
home at that
airport
from Adelaide in September 1959. Can you
imaging scampering across an airport tarmac
today?
