Sold to the Royal Flying Doctor Service in 1959. It was supposed to become VH-FDQ after Lycomings replaced the Gipsy engines but instead it went to Vanuatu as VP-PAG in 1968 after three years in storage.

VQ-FAS was acquired by New Hebrides Airways from Fiji Airways in 1961, initially as a lease-purchase. This photo is believed to be taken at Suva before the aircraft left for Port Vila. VQ-FAR in the background remained with Fiji Airways. -FAS was reregistered VP-PAC in 1966 but by then it was already being dismantled for spares having run out of hours in August 1965. Allan Walker photo.

VH-DRD crashed at Mooraberrie Station on January 11, 1952. It was stripped of useful parts and abandoned. The fuselage was taken to the homestead at the north side of the airfield and used as a chicken house. In 1980 the remains of -DRD were recovered to Mt Isa where they and parts from other aircraft were restored as a memorial for the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Removing the fuselage from Mooraberrie required some caution as the world's deadliest land snake, the inland taipan, would have found it a happy hunting ground for mice and rats.

Qantas photo of its new Drover VH-EBR. Qantas operated it in Papua New Guinea until 1954 when it was sold to Fiji Airways as VQ-FAO. By the time it was struck off the Australian register on August 31 it had forced landed on a coral reef (August 28) and been swamped by the rising tide. Salvaged and used for parts.

The crossed UK and French flags represent the unique status of New Hebrides as a jointly ruled Anglo-French condominium that finally ended on independence in 1980 and the birth of Vanuatu. With no New Hebrides register, the Drover initially carried Fijian registration. In June 1966 -FED became VP-PAD when New Hebrides got its own block within the British Colonial system. It crashed at Tannu Island on October 22, 1966 with the loss of eight lives.

VH-AZN crashed on Austral Downs Station on April 26, 1957. Useful parts were removed soon after. The airframe remained where in came down until 1979 when it was recovered to Mount Isa.

Photo by TAA engineer Ron Pioch. It shows VH-DRA and VH-DRC (c/n 5007) on a remote cattle station to the north of Cloncurry after one flew in with an engineer to fix a problem with the other only to need repairs itself. -DRA was damaged at Charleville on April 19, 1965. It was rebuilt at Brisbane and sold to New Hebrides Airways as VP-PAG. -DRC became VH-FDS in 1963. It is now with the Queensland Air Museum.

VH-DRD crashed at Mooraberrie Station, Queensland, on January 11, 1952. Useful parts were salvaged but the airframe was abandoned. In 1980 the remains were recovered to Mount Isa to become a memorial to the Royal Flying Doctor Service using the fuselage of -DRD and components from VH-AZN c/n 5017. It has received little maintenance since it was mounted on a pedestal and despite plans to move it to Cloncurry for restoration, was still at Mount Isa in February 2018.

Scanned from a slide supplied by the late RFDS doctor Tim O'Leary, this photo was taken by the captain of a TAA DC-3 as both aircraft were returning from the Brunette Downs races to Cloncurry. VH-DRB would later have is Gipsy Major engines replaced by Lycomings and be reregistered VH-FDR. The fuselage is now displayed at the Queensland Air Museum with a Gipsy Major engine installed.
