Close-cropped wide-angle front Stbd view of RAAF C-47B Dakota VH-CIN Code OM-N, Cn 27131 ex-A65-71 ex-USAAF 43-49870, on display [in storage] at the Australian War Memorial ‘Big Things In Store’ Open Day at the AWM Treloar Annex at Mitchell ACT on 05Oct2019. [I went on a 1.1 hour flight in VH-CIN from RAAF Fairbairn (CBR / YSCB) to the NSW South Coast (Moruya, Broulee, Bateman's Bay) and back to Canberra on 09Oct1993.] A65-71 Served with 37 Sqn with the code OM-N. In 1945 it was used to carry the body of Prime Minister John Curtin from Canberra to Perth for his funeral. Withdrawn from operational RAAF use in 1981, it was transferred to the AWM and flown by the RAAF up until 1997 when it was then placed into storage. (Ref: AWM website.)
