Built in 1948 for Trans Australia Airlines as VH-TAS who then sold it to PIA as AP-AHS in 1956. Their tail letters are here plainly ghosting through a thin coat of paint. Sold (Traded in?) to Fokker in 1959 then sold to dealer/modifier Remmert-Werner as above. Cancelled as N396CG in 2013, however in 2010 the California Air Heritage Foundation started to restore it at Oxnard AFB for use by a restaurant.
