This report seems to have come from the Air-Britain publication "The Douglas DC-3 and its predecessors" (1984). The report most probably refers to VH-EDD which was indeed burned on the Cairns fire dump on several occasions. I am advised that the fire report has been deleted from the entry for VH-PWN in the recently released reprint of the book.
