Photos of VH-TVC in Ansett-ANA markings are hard to find. Ansett-ANA received three of TAA's Viscount 720s in a lease exchange for two of its DC-6Bs. The exchange was forced on TAA by the government in an attempt to equalise the two fleets. TVC broke up over Sydney's Botany Bay on November 30, 1961 after flying into a storm soon after take-off.

VH-TVC seen from the balcony of the former control tower that had become the TAA terminal at Sydney. The building still exists but now largely hidden by countless expansions of the terminal over the past 60 years. Qantas is the current tenant. To orientate those familiar with the airport in the 21st century, the international terminal now occupies most of the background.

Photographed by TAA over Westernport Bay, probably in December 1954 ahead of VH-TVC's entry into service on the 23rd of that month. TAA's first Viscount, VH-TVA, had been the intended star of its promotional material (using photos from Vickers) but it was written off in a fatal training accident on October 31 before entering service. -TVC arrived in Melbourne about the time the 2nd aircraft, VH-TVB, operated the airline's first Viscount service after a period of intense crew training. -TVC was destroyed on November 30, 1961 when it broke up in a storm over Botany Bay. It was with Ansett-ANA at the time.

VH-TVC was bought from the Australia Army by the Victorian Forestry Department, which oddly decided to operate it as a warbird. However it did add dayglow paint to the roundels to make the aircraft more visible should it come down in a forest. It was reregistered VH-HQA in December 1986, by which time it had a more conventional warbird owner.
