                                     This DC-3 is the first VH-EBF, not the one that VH-EAN became.  This machine was ex-RAAF
                                     A65-36 (call sign VHCUJ) and was civilianized to Qantas in 1948.   This shot was taken around
                                     1949.  It was sold in 1953 to the R.Thai Air Force with serial No. 11.  It then went to Thai Airways
                                     for a stint as HS-TDI but returned to the RTAF as 212248. It was still current into the 1990s.
