Photo Comment
VH-CDZ was grounded after a minor landing accident at Bankstown in 1957. For several years it sat next to Marshall's hangar (out of sight to the left of this photo) until the area was needed for a car park. It was then towed to the middle of the airport and the Marshall Airways titles removed. After Sid Marshall died, the DC-2 was sold to an American Airlines pilot but an export permit was refused. It has since been intermittently under restoration in Australia but its current state is not known. Photo by the late Bob Kensett.
