The final Carvair conversion (#21) for Ansett Airlines as VH-INM, delivered in 1968. later flew with Nationwide Air in New Zealand as ZK-NWB and Hawaii Pacific Air as N5459M. Flown to South Africa in 1996 and eventually bought by Phoebus Apollo in March 2002. Registered as 9J-PAA and used principally to fly cigarettes and general cargo between Johannesburg and Lusaka, the aircraft was withdrawn from use by 2005 and stored at Rand. Still present in 2021.
