NZ3547 in the process of shedding its factory applied olive drab camouflage. The RNZAF loaned the aircraft to National Airways Corporation as ZK-AZM from 1953 to 1966 when it was returned. In 1977 it was sold, again becoming ZK-AZM before being exported to Singapore. Ended with the South African air force via the Comoros.
