The future VH-BOB after its disposal by the RAAF. The plan was for it to become VH-AGV but that did not happen and it was ferried from Sydney to Jerilderie in rural NSW in August 1964. It was reported to have made some unapproved flights but fell into disrepair. Warbird pilot Bob Eastgate acquired it in 1970 and it returned to the air in 1976.

Australian Arthur Butler, in the leather helmet and coat, flew G-ABRE from the UK to Australia in a record time of 9 days 2 hours 20 minutes, starting October 31, 1931. After reaching Mascot airport (now Sydney International), Butler undertook an eight-week publicity tour of Australia, returning to Mascot several times. G-ABRE was stored at the end of the tour, then shipped back to the UK in June 1932. New owner Victor Smith made several record attempts until -ABRE was WFU after a forced landing in 1934. Cancelled in 1945 in a post-war register clean-out.
