Here is the response from the guy asking the question.
It is the one from the Mareeba Museum.

It is fully complete but has not flown for a number of years. The people at the Caboolture airfield are going to restore it, paint it in its WW2 colours and use it for air shows including historic paratrooper displays.

I am involved in the Caboolture Warplane Museum and have moved a few aircraft over the years and they have just asked me to source a means of transport for it.

They are a nice aircraft to fly. I flew mainly Nomads when I was in the PNG Air Transport Squadron but we had DC3's also so I got to play around with them occasionally too. I had a fly of the South African Air Force turbo-prop conversion DC3's and they were really good with 50% more power but with pointy engine cowls they just did not look right.
