Australia's DCA (Department of Civil Aviation) operated this machine primarily in New Guinea and registered to them 14 April 1961. The aircraft was destroyed at Bankstown after several owners on 16 September 1982. The cause was a student pilot deliberately crashing his aircraft into VH-CAC.

Withdrawn from use in 1966 after severe corrosion found in the airframe. It was caused by foam sprayed on the aircraft by an overzealous firefighter when its undercarriage collapsed on landing at Athens. It was not the only trouble during the delivery flight from the UK, where it had been G-APSJ. The late arrival of the aircraft in Australia cost the buyer a contract and led to legal action against the seller.
