Ex XG766, N6-766 received its Australian serial at the very end of its service life. It had been delivered in 1959 and flew as XG766 for 10 years. It was withdrawn from use in 1970. Sold in 1972, N6-766 became the subject of restoration projects in three countries: Australia (as VH-RAN), the UK (G-SPDR and G-VYPO) and South Africa. It has not flown since 1970.
