NZ948 spent much of its time with the RNZAF as an instructional airframe. It was sold in 1958 to Bennett Aviation which was developing an agricultural aircraft that used some T-6 components. NZ948 ended on the scrap heap but the fuselage may be part of project for a static exhibit aircraft. The aircraft painted as "NZ948" at the RNZAF Museum is c/n 88-16326 ex NZ1087.

The aircraft was eventually WFU and scrapped at Blenheim in 1976.

Just over the road from the RNZAF base at Woodbourne, this immaculately displayed machine is preserved by The Argosy Trust outside a cafe, recalling the period when it often operated from the airfield. Originally G-ASXN with BEA, it later went to Transair in Canada and then to NZ in 1974. A careful study of Google Earth back home had established that I'd get the best sun angle in the morning, but it was cloudy then. Note plastic owl bird scarer on the wing!
