Built for the RAF as NJ771 but diverted to the RAAF where it became A11-39. Civilianised in the '40s, becoming VH-BCF. Rebuilt following a crash in 1950, but damaged again in 1952. Remarkably, it seems to have had the same owner since 1965. Seen here at the Antique Aeroplane Association of Australia's Auster Rally.
