Derelict Skytrain on a winter day at NSCBIA in front of AI's disused VT-SCK and VT-SCW along with AI Post's VT-EHH. Flown as 42-9331 by the USAAF, the Skytrain went to Mistri Airways in 1946, then to Indian Overseas Airlines, Nalanda Airways, Air Survey Company of India, Airways India and back to Air Survey Company. It's really something to see how durable these airframes are, after decades of exposure to hot summers and monsoons. I did at least one passenger flight in an Indian "Dak" before they retired.
