Delivered new to the RNZAF as NZ5906 in Oct 1952. Bought by Dwen Airmotive in Aug 1978 and registered ZK-EPC. Briefly operated by their subsidiary Hercules Airlines from 1984 until early 1986, then stored at Ardmore as seen here. Note NZ5906 still visible at rear. Moved to Waihi Beach, NZ and restored in RNZAF camouflage in the mid 1990s, for use as a tearoom. Moved to Woodlyn Park, Waitomo, NZ in Dec 2001 and restored as the Woodlyn Park Plane Motel, located near the Waitomo Caves. Still there by 2019.
