Crowley Airways was reportedly a Papua New Guinea-based operator, but with all aircraft registered in Australia. Blanning had operated VH-DSP for at least three years prior to this photo. The aircraft was still registered in 2017 but its true status is in doubt. It suffered major damage at Medlow Bath, New South Wales, on July 20, 2004 when it cartwheeled into a pile of felled timber stacked next to the runway. It ended on its back.
