Shipped to Australia in Apr-1958 where it was registered VH-WAZ in Aug-1958 with Qantas Empire Airways. In Sep-1960 it was reregistered as VH-SBT with TAA-Trans Australia Airlines. In Aug-1968 it went to Canada to become CF-XRI. In Dec-1980 it was reregistered as C-FXRI. Somewhere in the late 1980s/early 1990s it was converted by TC Aviation to a DHC-3T Vazar Turbo Otter with a PT6 turbine engine.
