Almost unbelievably the aircraft recovered from this and went on to serve with North American Airlines. In 1984 it was sold to Scenic Air Tours of Honolulu, but never made it there as on 5th April that year it crashed at Scottsdale, AZ., whilst on the ferry flight to Hawaii.

Delivered to the South African Air Force as Devon C.1 108 in 1949. Sold as G-ASUW in 1964 and converted to a Riley Dove with Lycoming engines. Sold as OO-BPL in 1967 then to Fairflight as G-ASUW in 1975 and Providence Commuters as N99254 in 1977. Cancelled from the register in 2012. Featured in the Queen's Ransom episode of the TV series The Saint in 1966.

This was built in 1949 so it was already an elderly airframe when seen here. It was exported to USA in 1977 as N99254 and was cancelled many years later, in November 2012. Scanned from a slide

seen being stored after reaching its fatigue life. It was stripped of parts and ultimately was bought by the Queensland Air Museum.

Converted by Riley in 1968. Previously known as Air Miami and operating as an Air Florida Commuter airline for a short while, North American Airlines began operating all flights under its own name on December 1, 1981. Unable to compete with well-established PBA and Air Florida, North American ceased flights in December 1982. This a/c was acquired by Scenic Air Tours (AZ) and, on its ferry flight, was written off on approach to Scottsdale AZ 5 Apr 84.

Delivered on October 2nd 1957 to Aviaco of Spain as Heron 2D with Gipsy Queen engines. Converted to Riley Turbo Skyliner in 1976.

Converted to Turbo Skyliner in 1969. In 1977 Air Miami started operating Skyliners on scheduled services between Miami and St. Petersburg. In late 1978 the airline purchased Shawnee Airlines and its rights to fly to the Bahamas, and the Skyliners were soon painted in Shawnee colours and put to work on the Bahama routes. In 1980 Air Miami was the first of several commuter airlines to enter into agreement with Air Florida to operate contract flights for them as Air Florida Commuter. With their now much expanded network, Air Miami changed their name to North American Airlines on 1 Dec 1980, but flights continued as Air Florida Commuter until the contract ended on 1 Dec 1981. North American Airlines ceased operations in Dec 1982.
