VH-BJB fitted with a modified canopy from a Wackett trainer, the only Cadet to be so equipped. The aircraft was converted to a cropduster, without a canopy and crashed while spraying at Woorndoo, Victoria, on November 28, 1961. Restored to register as VH-RUO in 2000 and since sold to the RAAF Museum at Point Cook. Displayed in its original configuration and markings as A6-34. Photo from: State Library of Victoria.
