This
is the eastern end of TAA's Hangar 8 which is believed to be the original
wartime structure. Just visible at left, and denoted by the layout of
the fluorescent lights, is the change in roof profile of the postwar
extension to the west. This photo was taken on 12 July 1970, the day
after the Twin Otter arrived on its delivery flight from Canada. The
aircraft still carries its ferry registration N8336 and the ferry tanks
can be seen on a trolley under the left wing. The aircraft entered service
with TAA in PNG as VH-TGH Daru on 25 July.Photo:
