VH-INM (1)  Douglas DC-3CS1C3G                          (c/n  13982/25424)

                                

                                    This was a former C-47A-30-DK, first civilly registered to the Zinc Corporation as VH-BHD and
                                    operated by their pseudo-airline Silver City Airways (Australia).  It was sold to ANA in September
                                    1949.  Oddly, I never did see this bird at Essendon, and the only shot I have gleaned of it is the
                                    Mac Job collection image above sent by Phil Vabre.  I also do not have a photo of it as VH-BHD
                                    If some wag could fill this gap I would be very appreciative. 
                                    Anyway, ANA sold it in June 1953 to Air Outre Mer and it went to Southeast Asia as F-OANI.
                                    After being damaged by rebels at Gia Zain Airport in 1954 it was repaired and went to Europe
                                    where it was outfitted for the South Yemen Air Force.   It finally wound up in Indonesia as
                                    PK-WWI.  Final fate unknown.
