VH-RRA was withdrawn from use in 1978 and stripped of useful parts. Despite having relatively few hours, the number of holes drilled in the fuselage and wings for experiments made it unsuitable for commercial use. The hull was used by the Sydney airport fire service until 1988 when it was scrapped completely.
