Built in Australia and taken on charge by the RAAF in April 1953. It seems to have spent its early life at 2 OCU before being converted to TT (Target Tow) standard in 1955. In September 1959 it was classed as surplus to requirements and transferred as Instructional Airframe No.6 to RSTT (RAAF School of Technical Training), Wagga Wagga. In May 1969 the aircraft was written off, pending disposal. It was acquired by the Corowa RSL and has been restored once since then.
