By Request Douglas DC-3 Royal Australian Navy N2-43 which is currently at the naval air museum nowra.
Delivered to the RAN 01/02/49.
Served with 851 sqn, 723, 724 and 725 Sqn's as 'NW-900', 'NW-860', 'NW-800'.
Fitted out as a Flying Classroom at one time to train Sea Venom and Gannet Observers. If one looks at its long nose and a Sea Venom they will see the resemblance as A117 and ASV radar was fitted to the aircraft. Sea Venom radar in the nose and Gannet radar in the rear of the aircraft protruding underneath. When acquired C/W, morse code was the main communication used.
Taken out of RAN service on 12/01/70 it had been flown 3,181.30 hours.
In 1976 it was allocated to the Australian Fleet Air Arm Museum at HMAS Albatross.
is there any plan to update this paint to sliver dip not polished metal and fix the roundel ie: correct location/size and rotation?
