High 6.

I wondered the same thing - whether it was tumbuna to the A380 - or an attempted aerodynamic conversion of a house brick.

The only thing I could pick that looked familiar was the vertical stabiliser which looks remarkably like it came from a DC4/C54.

I suspect you would have seen DC3 VH-MAL in Bushies colours when it operated charters to the Goroka Show.



Powerplant: 4× Pratt & Whitney R-4360 "Wasp Major" radial engines, 3,800 hp (2,834 kW) each.

I wonder how long they could keep all four of those things going.

Obviously Cessna were the sub contractors for supply of the wing tip tanks!
