First registered to Western Airlines in April 1946 as N10203, it was sold to Australian National Airways (ANA) in July 1947 as VH-ANG. Then to British Commonwealth Pacific Airlines (BCPA) in April 1948 as VH-BPD before being purchased by QEA in May 1949 as VH-EBM. After being with them for ten years it was sold to Zantup Air Transport (N600Z) and probably converted for cargo operations. In April 1962 it was purchased by Trans Mediterranean Airways (OD-AEC) but crashed on 9 July 1962. (Photographer Unknown) This photo was added on 10 May 2023, and has since been viewed 162 times. |
