This Dove was delivered 1958 and spent its whole active life with the same operator fitted out as an air ambulance. Withdrawn from use in 1978 on replacement by the GAF Nomad, it was stored here at Alice Springs till sold to Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation - CSIRO in 1980. Although flown to Adelaide-Parafield, SA, it was never operated by CSIRO and in 1982 it was acquired by CAAM, a permit for ferry flight from Parafield to Bond Springs airfield, 15 miles north of Alice Springs being used in December 1982. It was then roaded down to the CAAM at Townsite Aerodrome. This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
