This photo shows the first landing of an East West Airlines' DC3 at Port Macquarie on New England's Mid North Coast. Founded by Don Shand in 1947, the company had meant to fly east west between Moree and Grafton, but low traffic densities shifted the focus to north south between New England centres and Sydney.
Built in huge numbers during the Second World War, the DC3's ready availability made it the workhorse for many new airlines.
