DC-3 VH-DAS photographed
at Eagle Farm, Brisbane on 4 July 1974. The white hangar behind the
aircraft is the heritage listed Hangar 7 which was the wartime base
for testing captured Japanese aircraft. It was subsequently used by
TAA for the overhaul of aircraft, mainly DC-3s but also Bristol Freighters
and Drovers among others. In 2006, plans are underway to incorporate
the building within a heritage precinct on the old airport site.
