The last three Douglas LC-117Ds to see service in Antarctica during Operation Deep Freeze, seen partially dismantled on the dock side in January 1968, for shipment to the USA. Oil the left is 12441/‘JD/11’/City of Invercargill, with 17092/'JD/15’ (also named but unreadable on this print) behind and 99853/‘JD'/Wilshie Duit to the right. 99853 was abandoned after being dropped from a crane while the other two eventually ended up in storage at Davis-Monthan AFB until sold in February 1975 to the Turbo 3 Corporation, although they only progressed as far as the scrapyards adjoining Davis-Monthan, where they still remain to this day.
