This aircraft was built in 1948 and delivered to a Seattle timber company as N628B. Purchased by Flinders Island Airways and re-registered VH-FID on 9 June 1961. Operated by them until 1976 when retired and struck off the Register. Sold in 1979 and restored as VH-FID in 1980. Currently masquerading as an ex-RAAF aircraft, although no Beech 18s were ever operated by them.
