Original Black and White photograph of VH-EWA Boarding for a flight to Sydney at the old Tamworth aerodrome
(situated on the town racecourse) 1948.

This Anson was ex W2598 sold out of Narrandera
in November 1946 to Anson Holding Co of Inverell, NSW which was the original company from
which East West Airlines was formed, based at Tamworth.

Civil conversion was done by Marshall Airways at Mascot.  It was test flown on completion as VH-EWA on 22 November
1947. In 1951 when the airline received its first Hudson, this primo registration was given to
that aircraft and VH-EWA was re-registered VH-EWZ.
