This aircraft is not what it seems! It is an impostor, painted to resemble the original VH-TQN. This one was manufactured in 1985 and registered, in turn, PH-EXW (a trade plate), N244MA, PH-RFG, VT-NEH then ZK-POH. It was one of two Friendships acquired by the Historical Aircraft Restoration Society from New Zealand in 2017 and intended to be maintained in flying condition. Registered VH-TQN(3) on 18 January 2018.

On 30 January 1970, the two ex-TAA Viscounts at Southend, VH-TVD & VH-TVF, were moved from the centre of the airfield to a site on the North side of the airfield (as depicted above), where they were completely stripped of all useful spares prior to scrapping. The latter task had commenced by 7 February 1970, both fuselages having been severed aft of the wing trailing edge. By 15 February the two aircraft had been reduced to a fast-diminishing heap of scrap, which had completely disappeared by 21 February 1970.

First of an eventual fleet of twelve for TAA, VH-TJJ "Edmund Kennedy", first flew on 12 March 1967. Ferried to Essendon, Australia, arriving on 13 April 1967, it carried out its first revenue flight three days later. Initially WFU in February 1982 and sold, it was leased back and recommenced operations one year later, renamed "Hamilton Hume". Final revenue flight in Australia was on January 18, 1987.

Why this aircraft was in New Zealand then is unrecorded, but TEAL - New Zealand's national airline - did later lease TAA DC-4s for services when Sandringham flying boats were grounded and for services from Christchurch. Ordered new by TAA and entered service on 4 November 1946. Leased to British Commonwealth Pacific Airlines from April 1948 to February 1949 and registered as VH-BPB. Returned to TAA and registration renewed as VH-TAB but name changed to "John Gilbert". Later converted to a freighter in 1959. Renamed "David Collins". Sold in 1970.
