A6-5 arrived in Australia in December 1935 as part of a shipment of six Cadets from an initial order for 12. Further orders increased this to 34. A6-5 was assembled at RAAF Laverton and delivered to nearby Point Cook. It served the RAAF until early 1945 when it was placed on the disposal list. Became VH-AEG in August 1945. Crashed near Kempsey, NSW, on January 11, 1952. Hangar 104 dates from World War I and is still in existence today.
