VH-ASM in Sid Marshall's compound on the edge of Bankstown airport. Marshall had a sentimental attachment to the aircraft because its registration were his initials. After the Anson was cancelled, he used -ASM on his Lockheed 10. The barbed-wire protected compound contained several dismantled aircraft removed from Bankstown airport. Access was rarely granted. -ASM was East-West Airlines' first aircraft and was bought by the airline for restoration as an exhibit. Displayed at Tamworth airport.
