This Kiowa was allocated the US serial 71-20891 but was delivered in 1972 to the Canadian Armed Forces as a CH-136 with the serial 136226. In May 1989 it crashed in Germany following a wire-strike. The remains appear to have been remanufactured with the new c/n AMT004 (though not on the registration paperwork) and civil registered as N6351C in March 2004. It was re-registered in Australia as VH-JWV(3) on 16 February 2006, then to VH-TES(3) on 10 November that year.

Originally built in 1962 for the Royal Federation of Malaya Air Force, later Royal Malaysian Air Force, with the serial FM1066. Given the civil registration 9M-ART in 1972 for ferrying to Australia and conversion to an agricultural aircraft. However, put in storage until registered VH-EVB on 7 January 1982. Restored in 1987 and used for joy flights for about a decade. Several changes of ownership and a long restoration later, it was re-registered VH-SYS(3) on 15 March 2017. Currently potentially airworthy but in outdoor storage at the Historical Aircraft Restoration Society.

This aircraft is not what it seems! It is an impostor, painted to resemble the original VH-TQN. This one was manufactured in 1985 and registered, in turn, PH-EXW (a trade plate), N244MA, PH-RFG, VT-NEH then ZK-POH. It was one of two Friendships acquired by the Historical Aircraft Restoration Society from New Zealand in 2017 and intended to be maintained in flying condition. Registered VH-TQN(3) on 18 January 2018.
