VH-BHK was registered in 1960 and used to supporting bauxite mining at Weipa, Queensland. It was withdrawn from use at Cairns, Queensland in December 1977. Approval was given to ferry it to Sydney in January 1978 for scrapping. Initially it went to Sydney's Kingsford-Smith Airport, possibly a weather diversion, before being ferried the short distance to Bankstown Airport where it joined a Piaggio graveyard with eight others. In 1984 the derelict -BHK was sold to a Brisbane collector, who trucked it back to Queensland. It ended up as an exhibit at the Queensland Air Museum at Caloundra
