Ansertes outside the rudimentary 'passenger terminal' at Narrandera, 1938. (Note: This aircraft was built as an L-10B but later converted to an L-10A.)

Owned by Marshall Airways and seen here parked in front of their hangar. Was no longer operated at this time.

This was the prototype 10-B Electra and after testing served EAL on their NY to New Orleans and Chicago to Miami routes. Wears EAL's "The Great Silver Fleet" titles. Sold to Northwest Airlines in July 1937 on replacement by DC-3s. Impressed in WW2 as UC-36C 42-57222. Postwar to Brasil AF as 1325 and then to Varig as PP-VAU in June 1946. Crashed 18 October 1952. Photo obtained from EAL.

Delivered to Ansett in July 1937 as VH-UZO, serving them until January 1951. Owned by Marshall Airways as VH-ASM from December 1962. Restored to flying condition and first flew again as VH-UZO on 6 September 1991.

VH-ASM had been withdrawn from use due to corrosion when this picture was taken. Owned by Marshall Airways at the time and seen here stored in front of their Bankstown hangar. It was eventually subjected to an expensive rebuild from which it emerged in its original pre-war colours and registration (VH-UZO).
