It will be great to see this lovely old machine when it is restored to a suitable livery. It was first delivered to the R Malaysian AF in 1962 as FM1066 and was imported to Australia in 1972 by Aerial Agriculture of Bankstown with the intention of conversion to a sprayer. Instead stored with registration VH-EVB but flying again on joy rides around 1987 before passing through several more owners. Registered with the third use of VH-SYS in 2017, it ferried Wedderburn-Albion Park in July 2022 and is now the only flyable Twin Pin in the world.

Originally built in 1962 for the Royal Federation of Malaya Air Force, later Royal Malaysian Air Force, with the serial FM1066. Given the civil registration 9M-ART in 1972 for ferrying to Australia and conversion to an agricultural aircraft. However, put in storage until registered VH-EVB on 7 January 1982. Restored in 1987 and used for joy flights for about a decade. Several changes of ownership and a long restoration later, it was re-registered VH-SYS(3) on 15 March 2017. Currently potentially airworthy but in outdoor storage at the Historical Aircraft Restoration Society.

Based with HARS museum Shellharbour, NSW
