Photo Comment

Former RAAF (ex A65-23) and Australian Navy (ex N2-23) aircraft from 1950 to 1974 when it was sold to Masling Airlines for spares. Never civil registered. Displayed at West Wyalong since 1983. Painted in RAAF ARDU markings without serial by 1988, but this aircraft was never attached to ARDU during its seven-year RAAF service nor any of the unit's predecessors.
