Withdrawn from use at Camden, NSW in 1961 but in December was flown to Wollongong in protest as the mandatory grounding of Proctors. Starboard wing removed by the Department of Civil Aviation for testing of suspect glued joints. Fuselage trucked to Bankstown airport in 1963 and stored in the department's compound. Languished there deteriorating until presumably scrapped sometime after 1969. This photo is copyright © Geoff Goodall, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
