Built in 1943 as PV-1 33260 for the US Navy but diverted to the Royal Canadian Air Force as serial 2186. It served until August 1950 when it was struck off charge and stored until August 1955 when it returned to the USA as N75384. In 1957 it was converted as a Howard Super Ventura executive transport with the new registration N9060. There is an online photo of it at London Air Port in June 1958 to where it is said to have brought Howard Hughes for a business visit. It subsequently passed through the hands of numerous companies and was last reported stored at Yukon, OK., in 1980.

Seen outside the Dickie Fritz Shellhole in Edenvale in the East Rand just outside Johannesburg, this Ventura was delivered to the US Navy as 34759 and then given the RAF serial FP607. It never served with the RAF, but was transferred directly to the SAAF where it served in various roles including as an instructional airframe. Put on display during the 1980s at the Memorable Order of Tin Hats (MOTH) Dickie Fritz Shellhole, so named after two friends Dickie Dashwood and Fritz von Linsingen who were killed in the Battle of Bardia in the North African Campaign of World War 2.

The Imperial War Museum says following service with the Telecommunications Flying Unit and the Aeroplane and Armament Experimental Establishment, FN957 was assigned to the South African Air Force. The Australian website ADF Serials lists FN957 as operated by 429 Sqn, RAAF, which was based in the eastern Mediterranean. The consistency is both put the aircraft into the same theatre of war. FN957 was struck off charge by the RAF in 1946. Photo from: Imperial War Museums

The source says: 'Flight of Lockheed Venturas from Emirau, May 1943.' However, these PV-2 airframes did not enter RNZAF service in the Pacific theatre until 1944. They did not apparently receive a British Mk designation.
