VH-ANW    'Moogana'                                         c/n  13624

                                                Essendon, 1948

                                                This shot is interesting in that it shows the Transadriatica C-47 I-TROS off to the right.
                                                (I-TROS became VH-BNH).  VH-ANW began life as Douglas C-47A-25-DK 42-93685
                                                with the USAAF.    Declared surplus after the war it became VH-ANW in 1945.   In
                                                1954 it was sold to Guinea Airways, as my shot below, taken at Essendon in 1955 shows. 
                                                Guinea Airways re-registered all their DC-3s in 1958, and -ANW became VH-GAK.
                                                When Ansett Transport Industries (ATI) took over Guinea Airways in 1960 it reverted
                                                to VH-ANW and was then transferred to the newly formed Airlines of South Australia
                                                (ASA) with whom it remained until retired from active duty in 1971. It was placed on
                                                display at Parafield Airport, Adelaide.  It was restored in 1987 and repainted as VH-MMF
                                                of MacRobertson Miller Airlines and was intended to be displayed in a restaurant complex
                                                in Perth, WA.
