VH-ANL Douglas DC-3CS1C3G
'Warratana'
(c/n 20571)
Photographs of VH-ANL are relatively rare,
and this photograph was taken by Gus Grulke and
comes to me
courtesy of JohnWilson. This shot
was taken in the late 1940s at the (then) 'new'
Brisbane Airport at Eagle
Farm. VH-ANL
was built as a C-47A-90-DL and given the USAAF
serial
42-16105. It
was civilianized in 1946 for ANA.
However, it was sold in 1954 to French
Indo-China
becoming F-OAPD. It was assigned a French Air Force (Armee de
l'Air) call sign
F-KHAB but this was not
taken up. It went to the Cambodian Air Force in 1957 as 43-16105.
Was last
reported in
Cambodia in 1975.
