Hi Chaps,
Can anybody tell me please the date Malayan Airways got their first DC-3?
I can only guess it was between Aug and Dec 1947.
I know they had three Airspeed Consols up to late 1947; the first service operated by a Consol on the 1st May 1947.
The original registration was G-AIKY, and was delivered on the 9th March 1947, and later re-registered as VR-SCD in mid April 1947.
Two more Consuls were acquired thereafter but their service was short lived. VR-SCE crash landed on a road at
Tronob - later written off at the end of 1947. The other one was VR-SCF which was sold to Air France in late 1947. So in between lies the answer!
Many thanks in advance
.
Cheers
