The Islander photo shows "Papua New Guinea" on the fuselage. I think the aircraft was on a delivery flight to Aerial Tours which later became Douglas Airways.

Standby Scum may be on the money, obviously he worked for that operator. Fortunately I did not work for them but knew Dennis "Biscuit Ears" Douglas very well.

Pose the question in this thread. Someone will have a wealth of information.
