This genuine Douglas DC-2 is painted in the scheme of KLM depicting aircraft PH-AJU Uiver (Stork) which was entered in the October 1934 MacRobertson Air Race between London and Melbourne. Out of the 20 entrants, it finished second behind only the purpose built DH88 racer Grosvenor House. During the total journey time of 90 h 13 min, it was in the air for 81 h 10 min, and won the handicap section of the race.
