VH-MMT

DC-3CS1C3G
(c/n 6353)
Unfortunately the minuscule registrations adorning MacRobertson Miller
Airlines of this era are
practically unreadable in my 625 pixel reproductions. They
are,
however, quite clearly legible
in
Geoff Goodall's
original prints. Both the super color image above and the
B&W shot below
were taken at Perth Airport in 1968. MMA had a
policy of naming their airliners to be in line
with the last
letter of
their registrations,
hence -MMT was named 'Turner'.
It was formerly
VH-MJR and did
not join MMA's fleet until June
1965. It departed Perth on 12 October 1969
on
delivery to Seulawah Air Service in
Indonesia and became PK-RDG.
It was later sold off
to
Mandala Airlines changing its rego again, this
time to PK-OSA (circa
Jan
1978). C/n 6353
was last noted somewhat derelict
at
the
old Keymayoran Airport in Jakarta in
April 1980, still in
Seulawah markings.
No doubt scrapped when that
airport closed.
