Photo Comment

Operated by the RFDS from 1947 to 1960 when it was withdrawn from use. Then had a brief career as a utility aircraft for a cropdusting firm. Damaged in 1964. Stored at Jim Stokes farm at Cunderdin 1968-71. Became a restoration project with different owners before being shipped to New Zealand in 1996. Flew in 2002 as ZK-USJ. Returned to Australia and its old marks in 2003.
