A9-4 crashed at Norfolk Bay, Tasmania, on March 19, 1930, while operating from the seaplane carrier HMAS Albatross. The RAAF had nine Seagulls IIIs. They were replaced by Seagull Vs (very similar to the Walrus). The HMAS Albatross was handed over to the Royal Navy in 1938 and name later adopted for the naval air station at Nowra.
