I didn't pick the pseudonym, but--most of you were nearly right.
The old DC3 at Myalup never flew for a WA company and was mostly owned by one of Reg Ansett's Co's.
It flew 47,500 hrs before retirement to a childrens park in SA in 1971. After some years it was refurbished and trucked to Midland for the McDonalds Franchisee. I bought it from a museum group that had been donated the machine for $10,000. While the museum mob had it it was dressed up by the ABC for the movie The Shark Net. I shifted it to Myalup on trucks for another $15,000. It now has pride of place as my garden gnome.
And yes the airstip is in regular use as an out strip for the Bunbury Flying School which has nine aircraft, both GA and LSA working out of Bunbury.
Anybody's welcome to take a look.
I note the first log book from when it went on the Civilian register is for sale on E.Bay. I have the rest of them so I guess somewhere along the line this one has been stolen.
