A89-304 photographed exercising with the RNZAF off Fiji where the New Zealanders stationed Sunderland flying boats. The museum dates the photo as 1961 but it is known the the aircraft did not have a white top in September that year. It is recorded two RAAF P-2E transitted Fiji twice in August 1962 on a visit to the US and were hosted by the RNZAF. It is not known if A89-304 was one of them. A89-304 was scrapped at Bankstown airport in 1968. Photo from: Air Force Museum of New Zealand This photo was added on 23 May 2025, and has since been viewed 102 times.
