This aircraft was a high-wing, twin-engined monoplane of the Second World War period, used as a troop-carrier and for general communications duties. It had a metal framework, mostly metal-covered with control surface fabric covered. It had a crew of 3, and featured a retractable undercarriage, slotted flaps and variable pitch propellers. It had a capacity of 17 passengers. A total of 14 aircraft were built, and were mostly withdrawn from service by 1950, the last was scrapped in 1954. A single variant was built with oval cabin windows instead of rectangular ones, and increased seating for 22. This variant crashed with the loss of 11 lives in late 1940, apparently due to jamming of the elevator.
