US Army Air Force 42-23951 was transferred to Qantas as VH-AFA in August 1944. Later VH-AEZ with Trans Australian Airlines, the aircraft worked it's way around the world as VR-NCO, 5B-AA, EI-ANK, G-ATBE before coming to Canada in 1970 for North Coast Air Services. Pictured with Ilford Riverton Airways (later Air Manitoba), the aircraft was last flying for Points North Air Service 1994 - 98, it was donated to the Saskatchewan Aviation Museum in 2014.

Here just arrived for adding to the Ilford-Riverton Airways fleet and it has lost the belly mounted survey equipment shown in Photo ID: 9630. Prior to import in 1970 it was owned by Handley Page Aircraft (G-ATBE) which is when it may have acquired the Hastings-style RAF Transport Command paint scheme. Later it went to Points North Air where it was withdrawn from service and cancelled June 2014.

This C-47A was operated by North Coast, of Prince Rupert BC, on surveying work between 04.70 and 04.74. Detecting devices are fitted below the fuselage.
