Awaiting scrapping. RH Grant Trading set up a smelter at Tocumwal after World War II to melt down war surplus aircraft that had no civil application. As a former B-24 training base, Tocumwal could handle the largest aircraft in service with the RAAF. The smelter remained in operation until 1963 with Vampires and Meteors the final aircraft to be put through it. By then Tocumwal had become a civil airport. The nose door marked 793 on the photo of A77-31 is from A77-793 also scrapped at Tocumwal.

Delivered to the Ansett group in Queensland Air Lines livery in April 1966. A few months later, QAL ceased to exist as a separate entity within the Ansett group and VH-FNN was repainted in Ansett-ANA's livery in November. In May 1968 the aircraft was permanently transferred in Ansett-MAL in Papua New Guinea. The same basic livery but with MAL replacing ANA in the titles. VH-FNN would be sold to Air Niugini as P2-ANM in 1978.
