Delivered to Trans-Australian Airlines as VH-TVN July 1958, to Botswana National Airways as A2-ZEL March 1969. Painted in Botswana Airways Corporation titles June 1970, to Air Rhodesia February 1972, name changed Air Zimbabwe Rhodesia 1979 and Air Zimbabwe 1980. Re-registered Z-YNI October 1983. Retired and donated to fire training 1984. As the Rhodesian Bush War was in its final phases, the name of the country was changed to Zimbabwe Rhodesia in June 1979. Air Rhodesia changed its name to Air Zimbabwe Rhodesia still in Air Rhodesia's low visibility, anti-missile colour scheme. This was changed back to blue, white and polished metal when the airline was renamed to Air Zimbabwe the following year.
