This was the second Seaford. After a brief loan to BOAC it returned to the RAF as a transport. However NJ201 was rejected by the Transport Command. About 1949 Short installed a streamlined nose and Solent style wing floats. It was eventually sold to Aquila Airways in 1953 as a Solent III (G-ANAJ) although it was only a partial conversion compared with Seafords converted for BOAC.

The aircaft was in open storage at San francisco for some years. At the time it was owned by one of Howard Hughes' companies and was under watch 24 hours a day by guards to prevent anyone from approaching the aircraft and any photography - this photo was taken by some misdirection. It was eventually was sold for museum display.

Ex VH-TOB, N9946F was stored at Richmond for about 15 years. During this time it made an appearance in the Indiana Jones' movie Raiders of the Lost Ark pretending to be a Boeing 314. N9946F is now displayed at the Oakland Aviation Museum at nearby Oakland.
