VH-ING Douglas
DC-3CG202A
'Mukana'
(c/n 19951)
This
was a relatively 'late model' C47A-85-DL when delivered to the USAAF in
1944 as
43-15485. It was not an ex-RAAF machine, and was not
registered in Australia until 1948.
After the take-over
by Ansett, it did the usual stint of service with the parent company,
Ansett-
ANA, and also with
Victorian Air Coach and Airlines of NSW. The two shots below are
both from
the Greg Banfield collection and show it (upper) with Ansett-ANA at
Bankstown
in March 1964
when it was the official aircraft for the R. M. Ansett
Brisbane-Adelaide Air
Race and (lower) with Airlines of N.S.W.
at Mascot in 1966. VH-ING was withdrawn in
1967
and finally broken up in
1970.
