Publicity at the time VH-UXA was delivered in January 1937, it to be used to deliver the latest shoes to customers around Australia. By 1939 it had undertaken several "expeditions" of central Australia and made flights throughout South East Asia and to Hong Kong. The places visited were recorded on the fuselage side. At the end of February 1939, it was flown to the UK where it became G-AFTF.

Undated photo but postwar as the TEAL logo was not applied until then. ZK-AMA was delivered in 1939. It was towed into storage at RNZAF Hobsonville in November 1947. In August 1945 it was fast taxied, up on the step according to witnesses, to Mission Bay where it was to become an attraction. This was not to last and -AMA was scrapped in October 1950.

Overturned in a forced landing near Meadows, South Australia. Wreck bought by Pobjoy, which had taken over production from Short Brothers, and shipped back to the UK. Repaired and became G-AEOY with Arabian Airways on November 1, 1937. Six weeks later it crashed again. This time it stayed down.

TAA is cited as the source of this photo and the year 1952. VH-DRE was delivered in April 1952 with variable-pitch de Havilland propellers. After three incidents of prop blades failing, one fatal, Drovers were grounded in September 1952. They were fitted fixed-pitch Fairey-Reed props, as seen in the photo, and new load charts were issued in December 1952 to allow operations to recommence. The photo location is not 100% certain but appears to be the eastern side of Mascot (now Sydney Kingsford Smith) airport near the TAA maintenance hangars.

VH-UVB in the aftermath of a Japanese air raid on January 21, 1942. In March Salamaua and the airstrip were occupied by the Japanese army. The airstrip was won back by Australian troops in September 1943. The airstrip was abandoned after the war. The jungle has reclaimed it but the area is still pock-marked with bomb craters
