Photo Comment

Built in 1935 for KNILM and delivered to Batavia (Jakarta) as PK-AFL. To Australia in 1942 as VH-ADZ for ANA. Bought by Marshall Airways in 1948 and flown as a 17-seater as VH-CDZ until damaged in u/c collapse at Mascot on 10 November 1957. It was stored at Bankstown from 1958 until loaned to the Camden Museum of Aviation in 1965. Then to an off-airport compound in Narellan in 1971 as seen here, and back to Bankstown in 1972. It's still there today (2017).
