Thanks Orv for reminding us of the significant part played by GA. The existing list shows that a SAATAS C310 was first into DRW on Christmas Day but I would really appreciate more details to confirm this. If any readers were involved in GA ops or know of someone who was involved please ask them to come forward.
Thanks again to everyone who has contributed. I'm getting a lot of PMs with log book details so the response has been even better than this thread suggests. I'm gradually working my way through them and adding them to the list. Keep it coming.

What about them radial engined cargo planes ? (Not DC3)
I presume you are talking about Caribou. Supporting evidence will be most welcome.
