Sold in Australia as VH-BDT but after that the story came to a quick end. It flew a single freight charter to Singapore. The return flight was thwarted by overloading issues and defects. When it was finally permitted to leave, it did so empty. BDT's landing back at Sydney was its final one because owner Aircarriers had gone broke. Despite attempts to sell it, VH-BDT was scrapped in 1948. Photo from: State Library of New South Wales This photo was added on 22 June 2025, and has since been viewed 80 times. |
