VP-PAL de Havilland D.H.104 Dove
5
(c/n 04091)
This worn out Dove
(previously VH-RUN/VH-RUW/VH-TDV/VH-FDV/VH-MMO/VH-AWD
and VH-AZY was sold to Solomon
Islands Airways (Solair) in September 1969. It returned to
Australia
in 1971 but was never reregistered. Looking at David Carter's
shot of it at Bankstown
in
that year one can perhaps see why.
