Although of
poor quality, photographs of the DC-3 as VH-CXL are very rare. The photo
was taken between August 1943 and late March 1944 while the DC-3 was serving
with 36 Squadron RAAF based at Townsville, Queensland. As the aeroplane
is only on loan to the RAAF, it carries the USAAF star and bars. Note also
the radio call-sign VH-CXL (with a hyphen) on the fin and rudder. Picture: George Redding |
