The Ansett sticker on A65-114 was in connection the airline's sponsorship of a flight marking a 50th anniversary. What that event was is not known. In October 1986 the Dakota suffered a double engine failure on takeoff at RAAF Edinburgh and was damaged during the subsequent forced landing. Now on display at the South Australian Aviation Museum.
