Built in Canada for the USAAF as 44-34081. Civilianised for Macao Air Transport as VR-HDH. TAA purchased it in 1962 for its New Guinea 'Sunbird' operation, re-registerred with undercarriage removed as VH-SBV. The aircraft flew services around the New Guinea coast until 1966 when competition from land-based aircraft made the flying boat operation uneconomic. Originally intended for a New Guinea museum, it was left to decay. The remains were purchased in 1979 for MOTAT but the aircraft is presently at the RNZAF Museum, Wigram where it is under long-term rebuild to represent an RNZAF machine.

Built in Canada for the USAAF as 44-34081. Civilianised for Macao Air Transport as VR-HDH. Purchased by TAA in 1962 for its New Guinea 'Sunbird' operation, re-registered with undercarriage removed as VH-SBV. Aircraft flew services around New Guinea coast until 1966 when competition from land-based aircraft made the flying boat operation uneconomic. Originally intended for a New Guinea museum but the remains were purchased in 1979 for MOTAT. The aircraft is presently at the RNZAF Museum, Wigram where it is under long-term rebuild to represent an RNZAF machine. (Jim Eames photo)
