Struck off the Australian register in 1959. It was left to become derelict until the 1970s when the remains were acquired for a rebuild. The parts changed hands several times until they were taken to the UK. The registration G-HACA has been allocated to the rebuild. The registration reflects its original Australian registration of VH-ACA when the aircraft was owned by Richard Casey, later Lord Casey and the governor-general of Australia. Casey was an enthusiastic pilot whose private airstrip at Berwick, Victoria, became a centre for vintage aviation.

At the time of the photo VH-BLS, which had operated as a freighter, had not been registered since 1949. BLS and sister ship VH-BKA did amass a debt for hangarage at Bankstown which might explain its good condition. Both Ansons were ferried to Evans Head for storage before BLS was ferried to Moorabbin for rebuilding. It emerged from that rebuild in early 1955 as a passenger aircraft fitted with the smooth engine cowlings from an Airspeed Oxford. A few months later the registration was cancelled as withdrawn from use. Debt from storage at Bankstown and Evans Head may have been a factor.

At the time of the photo VH-BLS, which had operated as a freighter, had not been registered since 1949. BLS and sister ship VH-BKA did amass a debt for hangarage at Bankstown which might explain its good condition. Both Ansons were ferried to Evans Head for storage before BLS was ferried to Moorabbin for rebuilding. It emerged from that rebuild in early 1955 as a passenger aircraft fitted with the smooth engine cowlings from an Airspeed Oxford. A few months later the registration was cancelled as withdrawn from use. Debt from storage at Bankstown and Evans Head may have been a factor.
