DC-3 number 13624 assembled Oklahoma City in mid 1944 as a "Skytrain" for the U.S.A.A.F. After service in the Pacific, This C-47A-25-DK was purchased by Australian National Airways, and named "Moongana", registration VH-ANW, in late 1945. Moongana was transferred to South Australian based Guinea Airways and renamed "Bulolo". Bulolo served with Guinea as VH-GAK before Guinea Airways was taken over by Ansett-ANA and reverted back to VH-ANW for one year, before commencing just over ten and a half years of service with Ansett Airlines of South Australia, the new identity of Guinea Airways. Retired at age 27, VH-ANW was donated to a youth camp. On 26th January 1972, the DC-3 was flown from Melbourne to Gawler by Captain Peter Gibbes, the same pilot who had ferried it from Manila. At Gawler, VH-ANW was trucked 26 miles to the youth camp. About 1985, the owners of a McDonalds restaurant in Midland, Western Australia, purchased VH-ANW, renovated it at Parafield, and then trucked it to W.A. After reassembly and painting in MacRobertson Miller livery it was opened for in-flight dining in December 1987. In late 1999, McDonalds Australia donated the aircraft to the Western Australian Museum of Aviation.

Avro Anson A4-32 major service by GAL. A researcher has provided the following information: 'Regarding this photo stated as being Avro Anson A4-32. It cannot be A4-32 as this machine crashed at Riverstone NSW on 28 April 1939. The aircraft in the photo has the yellow training bands applied that only appear after the declaration of World War Two & into the 1940 period when Ansons were retired from operations to training purposes, hence the yellow bands & large 32 code. I would suggest that this is actually N1332 & I base this on my 40+ years of study of this type of aircraft.'
