Photo Comment

There are three C-47s painted as RI-001 in Indonesia. The real RI-001 was c/n 26903, fate unclear. This one is said to be c/n 12514 which was 42-92686, DT-991, NI-480, PK-RCI, T-491, PK-DPK and lastly PK-GDZ of Garuda. PK-GDZ crashed near Surabaya on 29 December 1961, and this is likely to be a composite airframe.
