Norman Gunston was a fictitious TV celebrity played by actor Garry McDonald. The character was past its peak when a TV network took Gunston on the road for a magazine style TV show called Gunston's Australia. Travmar's VH-SBO was his means of transport. After the show was completed, the DC-3 was stored at Bankstown airport in the Gunston livery. It was badly damaged on September 15, 1982, when a suicidal pilot slammed into the ground near it. -SBO's remains ended up on the fire dump, save its nose, which has been preserved.

VH-SBO returned to the Australian register in January 1979 after five years in Papua New Guinea as P2-SBO and then P2-ANT. It was little used and in January 1981 it was cancelled from the register. On September 15, 1982 it was damaged by a suicidal pilot at Bankstown airport. -SBO was later hauled off by the airport fire service but the nose was removed for preservation.
