This 1966 Queen Air was imported new, as the registration implies, for the Royal Flying Doctor Service. It carried the US registration N9506Q for the ferry flight and was re-registered VH-FDV(2) on 19 April 1966. Subsequently sold and operated for a time by Skytours, which specialised in outback tourist flights. Currently based in Queensland, it flew in to the Wide Bay International Airshow each day for static display alongside a current RFDS King Air.
