Ex RAAF, VH-SJG was among a collection of aircraft purchased by Jetair. Jetair never really got going before it failed. Most of its fleet was acquired by the government and exported as aid. But -SJG remained and flew on until 1978 carrying cargo over Bass Strait. It ran out of flying hours and was bought by aircraft collector Malcolm Long. In 1988 he donated it the RAAF Museum at Point Cook where it is displayed in its original markings as A81-1.

One of three Superfreighters bought from BAF a year earlier, although only this one and G-APAV entered service. Midland Air Cargo hoped to acquire the Transair Argosy fleet from Canada but this never materialised and the company ceased flying in early 1973

After twelve years with the Royal Pakistan Air Force this Freighter did civil work in New Zealand and then Canada, where both its owners operated out of Terrace. Unfortunately the propliner was damaged beyond repair at the age of 44 when the right-hand landing gear collapsed on landing at Bronson Creek on 24 April 1997. [Nikon N8008S, Kodachrome 64]

Years ago, a lot of photos of this airframe could already be found online, including those of its sad end in 1996. However, hardly visible on those were the 'Instone Air Line' titles on the cargo doors. As I have this shot that shows them at least partly I gladly responded to a request to upload it.
