Scrapped at Moorabbin in 1961 four years after being withdrawn from use. Despite what is stated in multiple places online, this is not the aircraft that was converted into CA-28 Ceres VH-SSF. That was converted from CA-16 A20-129 purchased by CAC in 1958 as a direct disposal from the government. Both aircraft existed at the same time, the Ceres initially registered as VH-CEO in January 1961. Source: Geoff Goodall.

Rear cockpit of the Wirraway. The rear seat could face forward for flying the aircraft or be rotated to face rearward as a gunner's position. This relatively early Wirraway had the real RAAF serial A20-81 and served with 5 SFTS. Retired in May 1957, it was sold for scrap. Rescued by Pearce Dunn and kept at his museum at Mildura 1975-80. Restored at Essendon 87/89 and Caboolture 92/95.

A20-202 was not finally struck off charge until 1957 although its flying days appear to have ended with a taxiing accident at Amberley, Queensland, in August 1954. It wore a silver-doped finish postwar. Photo from: National Library of Australia

Built as a CA-7, modified in 1945 as a CA-20. To Australian Navy in 1952. Sold for scrap presumably when the Navy withdrew its Wirraways in 1958.

Sold by the RAAF to Marshall's Spreading Service at Albury with a plan to convert it to a cropduster. That never happened and the aircraft remained in storage until acquired by the Camden Museum of Aviation, which displayed it in its RAAF colours.
