Photo Comment

DC-3s and boomerangs - VH-EDD was registered to Qantas in 1946 as VH-EAO (later VH-EBX) before being sold to TAA as VH-SBH in 1960. TAA sold it two years later to the Netherlands Air Force for use in Dutch Western New Guinea. It returned to Australia and Qantas in 1964 as VH-EDD for crew training and hauling freight. It was sold to Bush Pilots Airways in 1971 and ended up on the Cairns airport fire dump.
