Sold in New Zealand as ZK-BKD in 1955. Seen here with Wright R-1820 engines. It had been built as a C-47A with Pratt and Whitney R-1830s and for most of its time with ANA retained those engines. But ANA preferred Wrights and -ANU may have been the last of its war surplus C-47s to be converted. When it arrived in New Zealand, R-1830s were reinstalled.
