OE-VED was the last in a series of four prototypes, the first of which, OE-VEA designated as the M-222 Flamingo made its first flight in May 1959 but crashed later the same year. Two further examples followed, after which and following some substantial design alterations, OE-VED (later re-registered as OE-FEC), appeared as the SGP-222A, an intended pre-production airframe. Despite the aircraft receiving both Austrian and American type certification (for which it was designated the SG-222VS), the project was cancelled at the end of 1964 and all three survivors were later scrapped.

Surely one of the most bizarre Beech 18/C-45 modifications. Former TC-45H 51-11544, converted by Rausch Engineering at Oakland CA. in 1960 but failed to receive FAA certification. Mods included the use of P-51 main gear, T-28 nose gear, a 13 ft nose extension, a 4ft rear fuselage extension, a heightened roof and enlarged cabin windows! The aircraft was cancelled from the US register in January 1976 and scrapped at Antioch CA. in 1977.

Built in 1940 as P2667 registered as G-AIEY to Field Aircraft Services of Croydon in November 1946. One of three Proctors planned for conversion to resemble Ju87 Stukas for the Battle of Britain film. The 'Proctuka' conversion was not a success as the handling characteristics were very poor, only two were completed and only one (G-AIEY) ever flew, ultimately radio controlled models of Ju87s were used for filming. The aircraft were subsequently scrapped with some remains lingering at Pinewood Studios until 1973.
