Just in case you are interested, this aircraft commenced life wih the US army and then went on as the first aircraft for MMA in Western Australia and had the same call sign (VH-MMA). It then returned to PNG as P2-ANS and in 1976 went to Maslings (Cootamundra) where it operated charter and on the odd occasion RPT on the Sy-Wlm-Sy route. Its rego then was VH-MWQ. I have a great photo of it sitting on the apron at Lord Howe Island during one of its charters to take the belongings of the new met observer to the island. It then went to Darwin and after a while the rego was again changed to its original Australian rego of VH-MMA.
