Delivered to SAFE in May 1951, operating a frequent freight service across the Cook Strait between North and South Islands. Seen here with an additional "N.Z.R. Rail - Air" badge on the fuselage, for flights operated by SAFE Air on behalf of New Zealand Railways. Aircraft crashed at Blenheim on 3 February 1954 and returned to UK by sea for rebuilding without cabin windows. Withdrawn in 1967 after 16,703 hours. Its fuselage was used to build a 'new' ZK-CWF.
