DC-3s and boomerangs - VH-EDD was registered to Qantas in 1946 as VH-EAO (later VH-EBX) before being sold to TAA as VH-SBH in 1960. TAA sold it two years later to the Netherlands Air Force for use in Dutch Western New Guinea. It returned to Australia and Qantas in 1964 as VH-EDD for crew training and hauling freight. It was sold to Bush Pilots Airways in 1971 and ended up on the Cairns airport fire dump.

Qantas bought VH-EDC in 1961 from the Department of Civil Aviation, which had operated it as VH-CAR. Qantas was used it for crew training. -EDC was disposed of 1971 and passed through the hands of a string of operators which used it for cargo and passenger charter. It was on a passenger charter on April 14, 1994, when it ditched into Botany Bay immediately after take-off. All on board escaped before -EDC sunk in shallow water. It was deemed not worth repairing.

The service period of the C-47 with the Koninklijke Luchtmacht or Royal (Netherlands) Air Force was relatively short, the indigenous Fokker F.27 starting to replace it in 1960. A couple of C-47s served in Dutch New Guinea until late 1962. This is actually a Danish machine, ex K-688.

VH-BPL had a long history in Australia, starting with the Royal Australian Air Force during World War II. It went to Qantas after the war and used on services in Papua New Guinea, then an Australian territory. It passed to Trans- Australia Airlines when it replaced Qantas in the territory and then to Air Niugini on independence. It entered the Australian register again in 1982, as VH-BPL. It is now with the Qantas Founders Museum, at Longreach, Queensland, restored as a static exhibit in its original Qantas markings (VH-EAP).
