VH-EAP has been preserved at the Qantas Founders Museum at Longreach, Queensland, in this livery. It has carried six other registrations between the photo and today - VH-EBY, VH-SBG, P2-SBG, P2-ANP, N5590A and finally VH-BPL. Last registration cancelled in 1996. In 2004 trucked with some difficulty from Hoxton Park aerodrome - where it had ended its flying days in 1993 - to Longreach.
