Photographer not known. EI-ANJ was delivered to Aer Lingus on 24 April 1964, being the third and last Carvair acquired by the airline. Its time in service was quite short and it was retired from use in September 1966. In 1968 it was bought by Eastern Provincial as CF-EPW but this too proved not to be a long-term prospect. In 1973 it returned to Europe and became LN-NAA of Norwegian Oversea Airways and later Rorosfly. By 1975 it ended up in Bangkok and may have operated some Red Cross flights from there. It was scrapped in situ in the late 1980s.

Registered G-ASHZ -6 May 1963. Depicted here after having been withdrawn from service by BAF, for whom it flew its last revenue flight on 24 December 1978 with a cargo of newspapers to Paris CDG. It subsequently went into the BAF hangar in May 1979 and emerged as N89FA, departing as such to its new base in Texas on -3 June 1979. Cancelled from the UK register 14 May 1979 as Sold in the USA.

After USAAF service as 45-627 this aircraft was leased to Pan American as N88945 "Clipper Gladiator" in April 1947 serving until February 1954 when it was returned to the USAF. Retired from service in February 1973 it was stored at MASDC Tucson until civilianised as N88945 in early 1981, becoming N811E with Globe Air the following year. When Globe Air closed in 1985 it was stored until acquired by Brooks Air Fuel in June 1991 and converted as a fuel tanker, sadly it was written off on 8th October 1993 when it veered off the runway landing at Point Lay, AK., with a cargo of unleaded auto fuel.

Early January 2010, Haiti was struck by a massive earthquake. As the airport of its capital Port-au-Prince had only limited capacity to receive large aircraft, Dutch aid was flown to Curacao and reloaded onto Florida Air Transport's C-54G N406WA, which brought it to Port-au-Prince.
