VQ-FAI (2) Douglas DC-3C-G202A
(c/n 18923)
This was
the former ZK-CAW (and VH-ANM before
that) which was leased to Fiji Airways in
1966 for a period of roughly three years. The above shot
is from the Bob Smith
collection, and
was taken
at Nadi Airport, Fiji
in October 1967. Just why Fiji had to resort to re-issuing
regos
is
totally beyond my comprehension. It's not as it they were running
out of combinations. Anyway,
upon its return to New Zealand this DC-3 reverted
to ZK-CAW
and spent its final years as an
annexe to a
McDonald's retaurant in Taupo.
