With history going back to 1948 with Trans Australian Airlines (VH-TAS), this CV240 had later registrations AP-AHS (Pakistan Internal Airlines), PH-NLP and PH-EUT (Fokker operating for Euravia), N559R (Beldex Corp) and N396GC (Faberge Inc). Faberge allowed free use of the aircraft to retired actor Cary Grant when he became a creative consultant with the company in 1970. Later stored, it became a project for California Air Heritage Foundation in 2010 which later floundered. The fuselage is currently stored at Shafter - Minter Field at the time of uploading.
