Photo Comment
This aircraft is ex VH-BCM, a postwar civil aircraft that was withdrawn from use in 1957. In 1964, after Proctor 5s were grounded due to concerns about glues used in construction, it was donated to the Camden Museum of Aviation. It restored the aircraft as NP336, which was part of the Governor-General's Flight from 1945 to 1947. The real NP336 became VH-BNB.
