East-West acquired VH-BBI in April 1948 for its Tamworth-Sydney passenger services. In 1953 it sold the aircraft to Air Express in Brisbane. It spent the rest of its flying career in Queensland until grounded in 1962 with other wooden-winged Ansons. Fell derelict at Mackay airport and was carted away in 1965.
