Looking for some help to settle a beer-o’clock bet.

The NSCA had a couple Do228’s over time. NSX & NSZ.

Now the questions are….

a) They were both long body –200’s?
b) They both had in flight open-able doors?
c) At one stage one of them was registered NSC? Or was there a third one???

If any one can provide a picture as proof mail me at [email protected]

Here’s hoping I don’t do my $:ok:

or:{

They were both long body -200's.

From memory they both had sliding rear doors that could be opened in flight.

Rego's can't remember.

When I get the chance I will have a look at some of the old Australia Aviation mags that I have in the garage, I'm sure there are a few photos' of the D228's in both the yellow and the final white paint job.

IHD,

I've sent you the photo. It's not the best quality, but you can see the sliding door.

The final fleet list for the NSCA also shows 3 D228's.
