RAAF A61 Northrop Delta

Aircraft Serialc/nAircraft History
A61-142Ex NC14267. Registered VH-ADR 16/08/40 to 12/42 and was used by DCA for checking navigational aids. In December 1942, VH-ADR was impressed by the RAAF as A61-1, and was issued to No 35 Sqn. Six months later, the Delta was transferred to No 34 Sqn and later to No 37 Sqn. On September 30 1943, the aircraft swung on take-off, apparently due to the collapse of the tail wheel strut. The Delta was damaged beyond repair and was dismantled in 1944.
