This aircraft was built to a USAAF order as a UC-61A Forwarder 43-14892, but was supplied to the RAF under lend/lease as an Argus II, serial HB619. It was returned to the USAAF on 7 November 1946 but was sold in the UK and civilianised as G-AIXM. It was imported into Australia in 1952 and registered VH-BLB on 29 September that year.
