Delivered to Australia in July 2018 and allocated to CFS at RAAF East Sale. Although it wears the (awful) Roulettes scheme, the team is still working up. Therefore the aircraft appeared in a formation at WOI 19 as a representative of CFS, using the callsign 'Typhoon'.

This was the 495th Friendship, ordered originally for Libya. Registered to Fokker in 1980 as PH-EXM, then PH-FTX. Sold in the USA and re-registered N334MV, then N272SA in 1986. It was sold back to Fokker in 1987 and became PH-FTX again. It then went through several hands as CN-CDC, PH-FTX again, TR-LCQ, F-SEBJ, HB-ILJ and ZK-PAX. In 2018 it was acquired by HARS and flown from Auckland to Wollongong where it is currently engineless, becoming VH-EWH(6) on 18 January 2018. It is the fourth Fokker and second F.27 to wear this registration!
