VH-MMO was leased to Airlines of New South Wales from March 1983 until January 1984 but retained its Airlines of Northern Australia livery throughout. Owned by Ansett, it would later be leased Air Queensland before adopting Ansett's house livery. It had amassed 62,000 hours over 30 years when retired in 1990. Most of it was scrapped but the fuselage was used at Melbourne, then Adelaide, for fire training.

Here in the original colours, long before I caught her on a rare visit to Heathrow in the new scheme. A number of RTAF Providers visible in the background - sure would have liked a tour of that base
