VH-RMC seen here in the first variation to the delivery livery. "MK.II" was added to the tail after the engines were tilted up to reduce vibration in the cabin. This was well before the major modifications that followed two in-flight break-ups in the US. Photo via Ben Dannecker

Ex-G-ALZX. VH-BUI was returned to the UK in August 1958 after Butler Air Transport was taken over by Ansett.
