The Department's workhorse Douglas DC-3 VH-CAN on the apron in front
of the Department’s hangar at Melbourne/Essendon in 1978. Note
that the DCA logo is gone
from the nose as by this time the organisation was part of the Department
of Transport.
Behind VH-CAN is Departmental Fokker 27 VH-CAV, and behind that Fokker 28 VH-ATD in the new Department of Transport colour scheme.
Shortly after this photo was taken VH-CAN was sold to Paradak.
