Pacific Banana and Norman Gunston's DC-3's
Back in the late seventies or maybe early eighties there was a movie with Graham Blundell in it called Pacific Banana. Norman Gunston also did a round Australia tour , both featuring DC3's, (or maybe more correctly, C47's?). Has anyone any idea as to the rego's used and what was the fate of these aircraft?

Try that on for size
From memory. Norman's was walloped by some nutter that stole an aircraft from Bankstown and then subsequebtly tried topping himself with it. Damage was substantial but very dim memory these days sorry. ( edits for the spelling police )

Grandpa Aerotart
He most assuredly did..his engine buried itself in the hangar wall next to which SBO was parked...fairly minor fire damage to the tail of SBO from memory but it was basically parked and forgotten about at the time anyway...about one step above abandoned in situ...About 1983?
Silly Old Git
Pretty sure I saw SBO on Bankstown fire tip in '86
She still had McDonalds ugly mug on the tail
Rumour has is that when Mah-Cray was filmed asleep in cockpit for the series they were not using a stunt double
All the fun days are gorn
Oh...BTW anyone know where I can get some footage of the show featuring the DC-3?
