The survival of A46-54 is remarkable because its stripped airframe was sold for scrap in 1955. About 1973 the fuselage frame was purchased by Les Arthur who had an aviation museum on his property at Wellcamp, near Toowoomba. Not long after the photo it was acquired by Greg Batts and became a long-term restoration project. In 2001 it was registered VH-MHB but it was still a long way from completion. New wings were mated to the restored fuselage in 2017.

VH-TVL flew with Trans-Australian Airlines until August 1969 when it was placed in storage at Brisbane Airport. A ban on the export Viscount 700 aircraft resulted in it being sold in 1971 to the Toowoomba Aviation Museum at Wellcamp, on the edge of Toowoomba. The museum was more like an overgrown scrapyard in 1977 and in 1978 VH-TVL was sold to a Toowoomba scrap dealer. It survived in an ever-diminishing condition until it was moved to a caravan park at Miles, Queensland, in 2013. It has since been cleaned up, repainted and fitted with dummy wings and engines as a tourist attraction.
