Presently displayed at Tamworth Airport, the home base for the former East-West Airlines. The RAF Museum thinks it has this aircraft but has VH-AZU ex LT773. The two aircraft were stored at Sid Marshall's yard next to Bankstown airport. East West Airlines acquired ASM, which was its first aircraft, from Marshall in 1972. AZU remained in the yard until after Marshall's death in 1975. The RAF Museum's confusion is a mystery as ASM was complete and on display when it bought its wingless Anson in Australia.
