VH-KWK (3) DHC-2 Beaver 1
(c/n 1575)
Yet another VH-KWK was registered to
KWK Transport
of Derby WA in June of 1965. This was
a new
machine straight from Hawker de Havillands. The
photographs above and below are from the
album of
Ellis Trautman who
worked for the Main Roads
Department in West Aussie in the 1960s..
The Department would
charter various aircraft from time to time for covering
this vast, rugged country,
especially
during "The Wet".
Anyway, this particular -KWK was traded to Hawker
de Havilland at
Jandakot in July 67 on a new
Bonanza which then
became -KWK(4) and the Beaver was re-registered
VH-KWF.
