VH-NJI has been painted in Butler's livery as static exhibit. Butler took delivery of VH-AHB, the 6th Heron built, in October 1952. It was a Mk1B with Gipsy Queen engines and fixed undercarriage. AHB was retired in 1956 and returned to the UK. VH-NJI, a Riley Heron, arrived in Australia from Fiji in 1991. Named "Arthur Butler", Heron Airlines operated it for 10 years before being permanently grounded. VH-NJI subsequently changed hands several times and was stored at Tooraweenah, which was Arthur Butler's hometown, when acquired by HARS. Moved to Parkes in 2017.
