Ex KNILM PK-AFP, ex USAAF aircraft that used the civil style callsign VHCXJ for operations during the South-West Pacific campaign of World War II. Flown by Adelaide-based Guinea Airways on behalf of the military. Postwar transported by road to the Adelaide suburb of Prospect to be converted to a caravan. By 1966 was being used as a garden shed. Attempts to recover it complete were thwarted by the owner's refusal to allow it to be hoisted by crane. Cut up and removed in sections, some of which ended up at the Warbirds Museum at Mildura.
