Building runways is challenging in Norway and DNL acquired five Sandringham flying boats after WWII. LN-IAU is seen operating alongside two diehard seaplane Ju 52s which can just be identified as LN-KAE behind LN-KAF. As far as we can work out, LN-KAF could be either the first (c/n 5489), or the second (c/n 130714) which became the nostalgy bird "D-AQUI" - see photo 70519 for details. Sandviken was replaced by the short-lived Hjellestad water airport on 23 August 1948 and DNL became part of SAS that year. Photo from: Nasjonalbiblioteket (Norway)

This wonderful photo was picked up for a mere $2 and shows VH-BRC on the Derwent River at Hobart. The Ansett Sandringhams operated direct from Sydney Harbour while landplanes routed via Melbourne. When competitors' started a same-plane DC-4 service from Sydney via Launceston it cut the flying boat's time advantage to a mere 20 minutes (in a four-hour flight) while greatly reducing costs.

VH-BRC made three trips to Lake Eucumbene on charter to the Aviation Historical Society of Australia, this being the last. The lake was one of only three places within a convenient distance from Ansett's Sydney flying boat base suitable for the charter flights.
