| Just some small corrections concerning the information of Joe Baugher. This airplane is bought by Indonesian Airways Oct 14, 1948 and registrated as RI-001 and named SEULAWAH. Then in August 1950 used by AURI without registration RI-001 en without name Seulawah. The airplane did not returned to Indonesian Airways. Flown under charter (also RI-007 c/n unknown and RI-009 c/n 4823) to Burmese Government during period 28-01-1949 until August 1950 when it was taken over by the AURI. Maarten Hartkamp, 19-08-2012. | |
