At the beginning 1949 it became WB482 but was transferred to Australia as A81-1 in April that year, operating with ARDU, 34 Sqdn, ATU and 2ATU till bought by Jetair Australia in May 1970 as VH-SJG. They ceased operations in November that year but it was bought by Air Express in 1971.

Like VR-NAA, this aircraft had a brief history with Central African Airways of Rhodesia before going to West African Airways Corporation in 1949. A 1000 m airstrip opened at Maiduguri in 1950. The photographer was on a trip to Khartoum. See photo 635076 for a clear view of the tailfin. WAAC offered cheap passenger flights with its Freighter fleet. VR-NAD crashed on a flight between Enugu and Calabar on 5 February 1955 due to structural failure of the left wing. All 13 on board lost their lives.

Converted to Mk21E in April 1949 and returned to the UK as G-AILW in May 1957. Sold to Avions Fairey as OO-FAH in August 1963 and used principally to fly F-104 Starfighter components between the Fairey factory at Gosselies and the Fiat Factory in Turin. When F-104 production at Gosselies ended in 1965, the aircraft was withdrawn and stored before being sold for spares to Societa Avio Transporti Torino. Scrapped at Turin Caselle in 1967

A81-2 was lost when its port wing separated near Mallala on February 25, 1953. The aircraft was on an IFR training flight. The investigation concluded A81-2 had been overstressed during an earlier training flight that day. On that flight the navigator had blacked out due to the G being pulled.

A81-4 was overstressed in a windstorm at Woomera in 1964. It was taken by road back to Edinburgh where repairs were started then abandoned. The fuselage became a storage shed for spares and sold with the remaining airworthy 170s in 1968. The fuselage was scrapped.
