We had a pleasure flight over Sydney in this DC-3. Delivered to the USAAF as 44-76613 then to the RAF as KN470 in 1945. To the Pakistan Air Force as H-717 in 1947. Registered as G-ANMA then VH-MML in 1954, P2-MML in 1974, P2-ANV in 1975 and VH-MML then VH-BPN in 1977. Operated by Dakota National Air from 1995. Renamed to Discovery Airways in 2002 and went bankrupt in 2004. Stored at Bankstown. Moved by road to Molong in 2009.
