You can hear the roar from here... Australian National Airways' Douglas DC-6 VH-INW 'Kurana' at full takeoff power tucks away her gear, probably at Essendon in the early 1950s. This aircraft was delivered to National Airlines in the USA in 1947, registered N90894. When ANA bought her in 1953, they liked the National colour scheme so much that they adopted it themselves. Kurana was transferred to ANSETT-ANA when the airlines merged in 1957, and was sold back to the USA in 1960. She spent time on the Nicaraguan and El Salvadoran registers and was scrapped at Miami in 1977.

VH-BMU was the second Drover to be built and the second to be operated by the Department of Civil Aviation. Registration VH-CAT was allocated but not taken up. Planned sale in the UK in 1959 as G-APPP did not go ahead and VH-BMU remained in Australia. In 1964 it was sold to New Hebrides Airways (Vanuatu) as VQ-FAD. Reregistered VP-FAD in 1966 and crashed Tanna Island on October 21 that year.
