VH-CMY was uniquely modified to allow the rear fuselage and engine to swing sideways to permit the loading of long objects. It served with Ansett-MAL from 1965 to 1968 when it was sold to Territory Airlines. It remained in Papua New Guinea until 1978 (becoming P2-CMY on independence). -CMY returned to the Australian register and was finally cancelled in 1999. The museum rescued it from the fire dump at Coolangatta airport in 2009.

The Caribou was not the success in Papua New Guinea that Ansett-MAL had hoped. Restrictions placed on STOL performance meant full advantage could not be made of its unique abilities. It was sold in Canada in June 1969. Photographer not known
