Default Warnervale DC-3 P2-001/VH-DNF

For those of you who keep meaning to go to Warnervale Aerodrome (just up the F3 freeway past Wyong) to photograph the DC-3 (P2-001/VH-DNF) which has sat there for around 10 years, IT IS ABOUT TO DEPART for an unknown location (thought to be Queensland), sometime in the next week or so.

P2-001, which was to become VH-DNF, diverted to Warnervale with engine problems on its delivery flight from Papua New Guinea.

So if you want a photograph if it, do it quick, before it's gone forever.

NO WAY

You mean it is actually going to fly, that's fantastic! The poor bird has been derelict at Warnervale for far too long now.

VH-DNF at Warnervale

Would love any additional info the good people of this board may have!

She was sold the other day and will be heading up to a QLD museam which they intend to paint her up into USAAF colours and be in a paratroop config. I was up there today and she isnt in the best shape at all.
