Reregistered as in the "Sunbird" block as VH-SBA in December 1960. On its return from Papua New Guinea, it was repainted in TAA's mainland livery. In 1971, -SBA was painted in the original TAA livery to re-enact the airline's first service, which was flown by VH-AES. The DC-3 then returned to PNG until retired in 1974. From 1979 to 1987, the unregistered DC-3 was displayed at Melbourne airport in its original livery. In 1988, it was made airworthy again as VH-AES . Current at the time of upload.

Named after Aceh's Gold Mountain volcano, Seulawah was Indonesia's mythical first airliner. There are now three C-47s in Indonesia painted as RI-001. This one is claimed to ex 42-92686, DT-991, NI-480, PK-RCI, T-491, PK-DPK and lastly PK-GDZ of Garuda. PK-GDZ crashlanded on 29 December 1961, so it seems likely that parts from another DC-3 were used in the restoration and that this is in fact a composite airframe. The museum maintains that its identity is ex PK-GDZ.
