VH-ANR was withdrawn from use by Airlines of NSW in July 1972. It was leased at a nominal rental to a group which intended to preserve it. -ANR was flown to Schofields aerodrome a few days later and its registration cancelled. In 1974 the Navy, which owned Schofields, ordered its removal and it was flown to Camden aerodrome under a permit. The Air Scouts got involved in its preservation but in 1981 it was sold with the intention of being restored. That did not happen and -ANR was trucked to the Queensland Air Museum in 1994 for static display.
