VH-BEC force-landed in the desert 135km from Maralinga, South Australia, on January 14, 1962. Despite an extensive search, its fate remained a mystery until three years later when the crew of an Adastra Hudson spotted it. The aircraft was intact but 40 degrees off course. No trace of the pilot was found. In 1977 -BEC was recovered and restored as a static display.

Now with the Central Australian Aviation Museum, Alice Springs.
