Photo Comment

Retired in 1965. Was eventually taken to Yongarloo Station near Morowa where it became a piece of farm equipment. It was seen in 1972 taxiing around the farm with hay bales stacked on the wing stubs feeding sheep. The person who saw in bought it and its wings and took it to Perth. After a couple of further changes of ownership it was restored as VH-FEP in 1984. It has since removed from the register and held in storage by the National Museum of Australia.
