Reregistered VH-DOB in February 1961. The buyer complained that he was unaware of the impending grounding of wooden-winged Ansons. VH-DOB was left with Robby's at Parafield until it was dismantled in 1964. The fuselage was stored at a St Johns Ambulance station at Hindmarsh and the rest burnt. The fuselage was scrapped in 1967.
