ANA standardised on the Wright Cyclone as used by its prewar DC-3 fleet. VH-IND was an ex USAAF C-47A and also received a passenger door in place the C-47s double doors as part of the civil conversion. After ANA was acquired by Ansett, VH-IND was transferred in 1960 to the group's New Zealand subsidiary, SPANZ, as ZK-BYE. It was refitted with Pratt and Whitney Twin Wasps.
