This photo was taken somewhere in Australia during World War 2. The sender has described it as seating 14, and at some stage he fell off this particular plane (no lasting damage) while working on it.l Does anyone recognize where it was taken? Could it be in the Ballarat area ?

Just shy of her 70th birthday, Jump-15 can still spool up faster than the smokejumpers she carries.
Replacing an earlier scanned slide with a better version 28-Sep-21 (DeNoise AI). Taken at Vancouver in the early morning. From an early age I'd always assumed that all military versions of the venerable DC-3 were C-47's. Not so! Many different versions were produced. Take the two in this photo for instance. The one in front (CF-PWH) is actually a C-49H, originally built and entered service as a civil DC-3/DST for American Airlines and has less powerful Wright Cyclone engines, it was impressed into USAAF service when the USA entered the second world war in 1941/42. Note that the passenger door is on the other side of the aircraft, quite unusual and the only one I've ever seen in that configuration (apart from the Russian built Lisunov Li-2's). The aircraft behind (CF-PWI) was built as a C-53 'Skytrooper' and has the regular P&W R-1830 engines, built primarily as a troop transport and without the reinforced floor of the C-47 'Skytrain'. The Canadian Pacific DC-6A/B at the back is CF-CZQ.
