Grounded in 1962 amid concerns for glue deterioration in Miles aircraft. After being displayed in a car yard, VH-AVQ was acquired by the Moorabbin Air Museum when it remained at the time of upload. Its historical significance is it was owned from 1953 to 1962 by Lord Casey, a governor-general of Australia and keen pilot.
