What is the difference between a DC-3 C47 and Super DC-3....
DC-3 (the original design) has the small Pax door. This particular airframe was a C47 but in 1948 Qantas did the mod where they took the door area out and replaced it with the Passenger door.
The C47 doors changed from the passenger door to these during the Second World War.
This was a passenger "airliner" with 28 seats. That's Brian Costello and Vic Pascoe loadin' the dunny with cartons of SP for the last flight to Buin on Bouganville. What a party... and the poor bloody crew couldn't partake because of the early departure.
Wasn't fair! Next morning Kieta (our destination maybe 20 minutes away) had 60 minutes holding (no fuel at Buin) and we didn't have it. The party rocked on till about 2 PM when the holding was lifted
The Super DC-3 has longer wings with squared tips, different tail (but not a DC-4 one they're rounded), bigger engines and wheel fairings for flight.
