Ex RAF. Brought to Australia from Japan on the HMS Vengeance in 1946 with two others and sold on the civilian market. The Lycoming engine was replaced with a Gipsy in the 1960s and the rear AOP glasshouse replaced with a shadier civilian rear cabin. Withdrawn from use in 1967. Restored to the register as VH-CKD in 1969. The rear glasshouse was reinstated at some point but at the time of upload it retained its Gipsy engine.
