You can hear the roar from here... Australian National Airways' Douglas DC-6 VH-INW 'Kurana' at full takeoff power tucks away her gear, probably at Essendon in the early 1950s. This aircraft was delivered to National Airlines in the USA in 1947, registered N90894. When ANA bought her in 1953, they liked the National colour scheme so much that they adopted it themselves. Kurana was transferred to ANSETT-ANA when the airlines merged in 1957, and was sold back to the USA in 1960. She spent time on the Nicaraguan and El Salvadoran registers and was scrapped at Miami in 1977.

VH-BMU was the second Drover to be built and the second to be operated by the Department of Civil Aviation. Registration VH-CAT was allocated but not taken up. Planned sale in the UK in 1959 as G-APPP did not go ahead and VH-BMU remained in Australia. In 1964 it was sold to New Hebrides Airways (Vanuatu) as VQ-FAD. Reregistered VP-FAD in 1966 and crashed Tanna Island on October 21 that year.

The prototype Stratocruiser, NX90700, first flew in July 1947. Originally wearing Boeing titles, at some stage it was evidently re-painted in the colours of major operator Pan Am and re-registered NC90700 (as here), possibly for commercial route flying trials. The aircraft was later upgraded and sold to Pan Am in 1950 as N1022V Clipper Nightingale. In 1961 it was sold in Venezuela to RANSA, becoming YV-C-ERI. Unfortunately it was broken up in 1969.

This is the first prototype Avro 707, the type itself being an experimental delta wing design for use in the development of the Vulcan bomber. VX784 made its first flight on 4 September 1949 but crashed less than a month later, on 30 September.

After initial use in Melbourne from 1949, VH-CAM was allocated to DCA's Papua New Guinea Region where it was based at Port Moresby. It flew on DCA duties for only two years until it crashed during a forced landing off Port Moresby harbour on 5 December 1951. Note the RAAF survey Mosquito in the background.

This aircraft was delivered to National Airlines in 1947 as N90894. It was acquired by ANA in 1953 and re-registered VH-INW. In 1957 ANA was bought out by Ansett, becoming ANSETT-ANA. VH-INW was sold in 1960, returning to the USA, then Nicaragua and El Salvador. It was scrapped in Miami in 1977. (CAHS/Dr Bill Bradfield collection)

VH-INH was later transferred to rival airline TAA as part of a fleet-balancing arrangement under Australia's 'two airline policy', before being sold in 1967 to Denmark as OY-STP.

Overview of Lae aerodrome. There's a sign on the front of the Control Building (left) reading 'Base Operations', probably a hangover from the war. Aircraft with readable registrations are Guinea Air Traders' DC-3 VH-GAT, which only wore that registration between 10-47 and 7-48, and Dragon VH-AMO belonging to the Catholic Mission of the Holy Ghost at Alexishafen. The latter crashed at Mingende, New Guinea on New Year's Eve 1948.
