VH-SBK  Douglas DC-3CS1C3G                           (c/n   6023)

                            

                                     VH-AEP in regular TAA service, this DC-3 went to the Sunbird operation in 1961 at which
                                     time it was re-registered VH-SBK and converted to mixed passenger/freight configuration.                     
                                     It was the aircraft used for 'JATO' rocket assisted take-off experiments (conducted at
                                     Essendon).   It ceased Sunbird operations in October 1967 and was sold to Australian
                                     Aircraft Sales.   This broker off-loaded it to Seulewah Air Services in Indonesia where it
                                     became PK-RDC in July 1968.   Its final fate is obscure.
