Without going deep sea diving, VH-BRE you will not see, for she was scuttled off Lord Howe Island after severe storm damage while moored there overnight.

BRC of course resides in the museum at Southampton, with dummy
ANSETT engineers in attendance, wearing late issue overalls with
the large lettered blue ANSETT on the back.

Whereas the authentic overall had A.F.B.S. in four inch embroidered
red letters.


SAVE A DC-3


Who wants to save and preserve a former Qantas DC-3? She sits today at Bankstown as VH-CWS, formerly VH-EAM. CWS is for sale for a fraction of what she owes her owner. She is in good nick with a highly presentable, well appointed 28 seat interior. The LAME who keeps an eye on her and runs the engines says that to issue a ferry permit is no big deal. There are two experienced endorsed pilots available to ferry her wherever a purchaser wants her taken. Along with a LAME flight engineer if required.

Volunteers all, of course.
