This Wirraway was the 8th off the production line in 1939 and is the oldest surviving example of the type. Remarkably, it served with the RAAF until 1960 when it was sold back to the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation as a source of spares for the Ceres program. However, it was not used and was sold in 1963 to John Hopton, one of the original members of the Australian Aircraft Restoration Group that operated the Moorabbin Air Museum. The aircraft was restored to original 'as delivered' ground-running condition in 2015-16.

This aircraft entered service as a Dove Mk 1 in 1948 as CS-TAC with Aereos-SATA in Portugal. It was fitted with improved engines in 1972, becoming a Mk 5. Later that year it returned to Britain becoming G-BAHB. Two years later it was exported to Australia, becoming VH-CLD on 15 March 1974. It operated with Bassair until grounded with severe corrosion in 1977. The cockpit only is currently part of the Moorabbin Air Museum collection.

This aircraft entered service as a Dove Mk 1 in 1948 as CS-TAC with Aereos-SATA in Portugal. It was fitted with improved engines in 1972, becoming a Mk 5. Later that year it returned to Britain becoming G-BAHB. Two years later it was exported to Australia, becoming VH-CLD on 15 March 1974. It operated with Bassair until grounded with severe corrosion in 1977. The cockpit only is currently part of the Moorabbin Air Museum collection.
