Ex US Navy Bu131643. Stored at Davis Monthan by May 1974 and sold in May 1981 to Northern Peninsular Fisheries for use on fish hauling flights in Alaska. The aircraft remained grounded at Arlington WA. until sold in 1987 to World Fish and Agriculture, another company also owned by William 'Winky' Crawford, who planned to use it to haul fish from The Philippines to Japan. Only a few flights were made in late 1987, before being impounded at Manilla where it again remained stored for many years. Dismantled and shipped to Australia in 2017 for display in the Qantas Founders Museum. This photo is copyright © Tim Spearman, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
