"Mercury" was built in 1944 for the RAF as MH120 but was diverted to the RAAF. Sold in 1952. Operated by Brain & Brown as a freighter for many years. In 1963 they gave it a life extension upgrade which included metal wings from an Anson C.19, Cheetah Mk.15 engines and C.19-style cabin windows.

"Matthew Flinders" served TAA from October 1969 until sale as N8043E in August 1979. It wears the initial 'T' fin marking.

Delivered in 1969. Flew charters for Australian mining and other companies.

This was the last of 21 Skymasters to be converted to Carvair standard. It served Ansett Cargo from July 1968 until January 1974. It survives in storage at Joburg as 9J-PAA (2014).

Steggles was and is a major part in Australia's poultry industry. VH-EGI was registered in November 1970 and withdrawn from use in April 1986.

CF-CPQ and TAA Boeing 727 VH-TJA collided at Sydney airport on the night of January 29, 1971. There were 240 people on the two aircraft. The report found the CP Air crew had backtracked instead of exiting while the crew of the 727 was criticised for failing to see the DC-8 when they had time to stop and not adopting a steeper climb-out when they did. The controller was largely exonerated because from his position at night it was difficult to see if the DC-8 was on the runway or the taxiway. The 727 safely landed despite losing hydraulics from a large hole in the belly. No injuries.

VH-DNN was reregistered VH-EIZ in August 1998.
