Reregistered VH_EAS in August 1958 to free VH-EAZ for use on another aircraft. The Drover was in storage at time and the new registration was never applied. In 1959, VH-EAS was sold in the UK as G-APXX. It was shipped to the UK but never flew there and the registration was cancelled in 1973.

Being an ex-Southender, the Drover has a special place in my aviation memories, with G-APXX displayed around 1972 in the short-lived museum there. HARS's Mk.2 is the last of the 20 built, the only potential flyer of those surviving, built at Bankstown in 1953 and used as VH-AHZ to test modifications after the grounding of Mk.1 Drovers due to propeller failures. Sold to New Hebrides Airways as VQ-TAH in 1965 then VP-PAE next year. Returned to Australia becoming VH-PAB in 1968 and underwent long-term restoration to flight by Hawker de Havilland Australia at Bankstown from 1981, to VH-DHM in 1986
