Douglas C-47B-DK  A65-85                        (c/n  32878)

                                    

                                       This shot of a RAAF Dakota was taken at remote Forrest, WA in the late 1950s.  This station
                                       was evidently a stopping off place on the long trek over the Nullabor Plain from Adelaide to Perth.
                                       In 1977 A65-85 was civilianized and brokered by Calgair Inc's StanAir Corporation to Sempati
                                       Air Transport in Indonesia where it became PK-JDB.  (It received the interim us rego N16130 in
                                       between).   In Indonesia it was later re-registered PK-JDG. `
