G-AHFH transited New Zealand on its way to Australia. It was being flown by AVM Don Bennett, who owned BSAA and who was returning to his home town in Queensland. Bennett was the leader of the RAF's World War II Pathfinder Force. G-AHFH passed through several UK owners before it was sold in Lebanon as OD-ADA in June 1957.

LAC's York undergoes heavy maintenance at their Blackpool Squires Gate base. It wears 'trooping serial' WW502 instead of its normal registration G-AHFH to permit operations through the Suez Canal Zone, where civilian aircraft were not allowed. Ex BSAAC and BOAC. Later to MEA as OD-ADA.
