That 336 With Swing Out Rear Engine
Here are a couple of photos of the aircraft concerned. The rear motor and firewall section was modified in 1965 in Sydney, Australia, prior to the 336 entering service with Ansett-MAL in Papua New Guinea. I will try to obtain clearer photos of the hinges/connections asap. Enjoy, any questions???
a/c is 336-0005, VH-CMY. Currently unregistered and derelict at Coolangatta Airport in Queensland, Australia. |

Dear Sir,
Just saw your pictures. Do you know if the mod was approved by your CAA? If so, do you know who is the owner? Regards James |

Carried a 44 gal drum, didn't it?
G'day mate,
Didn't see you down at Archerfield... but Craig came down and got some shots. That 336 was modified to take a 44 gal drum in the cargo compartment, wasn't it? Cheers Conway PS I'll send you the press release that I'm sending to the magazines. |

And then there was one
Hi all, Just heard that CMY has been rescued from the impending ashes. Well done.
My 336 is certainly the only operational 336 in Australia. I was offered CMY a few years ago for free, but decided against it due to storage problems at the time. David
