Imported to NZ in 1953 through British Aircraft Ltd for Auster Air Services of Timaru and registered ZK-BBY. In June 1958 it was involved in a landing accident and was withdrawn from use. It was re-built (probably with bits from other Austers) as ZK-BWH and registered to Aerotech of Timaru. Presently on display in the MOTAT Museum in Auckland with the fictitious RNZAF serial NZ1708.
