Photo Comment

A30-14 photographed in its fading wartime camouflage in the yard of Sid Marshall, aviation pioneer, aircraft collector and the owner of Marshall Airways. Marshall, who died in 1975, kept a collection of derelict aircraft, cars and buses where he lived adjoining Bankstown Airport. A30-14 was bought by him in 1947 as a source of spares for DC-2 VH-CDZ. After Marshall's death, A30-14 was sold the Dutch Dakota Association for display at the Aviodrome.
