This 1978 Two-Twelve had a varied history before coming to Australia. It was originally registered in Japan as JA9536, then in the USA as N652LH, then Canada as C-FWOR before becoming VH-JJY[2] on 14 November 2008. It made a one-day-only appearance at the Australian International Airshow where it flew a water-bombing demo with a number of other fixed and rotary wing aircraft.

VH-JJY sits in the pre-dawn twilight after arriving in the early hours from Brisbane and Sydney. Tragically that night, a Queen Air contracted to carry excess cargo from VH-JJY crashed claiming the life of the pilot. VH-JJY, which was owned by Ansett Transport Industries, was stored at Brisbane following the collapse of Ansett in 2001. It was ferried to the UK in 2005 and sold in Sweden as SE-DRN in 2006.
