Originally VH-FDS with RFDS from 1978. Reregistered VH-LKE in 1990 and withdrawn from use in 1992. Moved to Mareeba in 2010 for preservation as VH-FDS. By 2014 was in a deteriorating state with no wings, fin or engines and paint fading away. Acquired by the Stockmans Hall of Fame at Longreach. Now displayed fully restored and hanging from the ceiling of the main hall. This photo is copyright © Russell Legg, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
