VH-NJI has been painted in Butler's livery as static exhibit. Butler took delivery of VH-AHB, the 6th Heron built, in October 1952. It was a Mk1B with Gipsy Queen engines and fixed undercarriage. AHB was retired in 1956 and returned to the UK. VH-NJI, a Riley Heron, arrived in Australia from Fiji in 1991. Named "Arthur Butler", Heron Airlines operated it for 10 years before being permanently grounded. VH-NJI subsequently changed hands several times and was stored at Tooraweenah, which was Arthur Butler's hometown, when acquired by HARS. Moved to Parkes in 2017.

Butler Air Transport publicity photo. Arthur Butler made his tiny home town of Tooraweenah a hub for his airline. Traffic from towns in NSW and southern Queensland fed into the airport for DC-3 services to Sydney. Tooraweenah vanished from the world's airline maps with Butler but was for a while a base for gliding over the Warrumbungle mountains seen in the background of the photo.

Painted as a memorial to airline pioneer Arthur Butler. VH-NJI was withdrawn from use in 1995. Registration cancelled in 2004. Displayed at the Fleet Air Arm museum at Nowra before being passed to HARS at Parkes. The original VH-AHB was a fixed-gear, Gipsy Queen-powered Heron 1B.
