This 1976 Lance appears to have been registered N222CR before being exported to Australia in 1989 and registered VH-OEL on 19 September that year. In 2007 it was advertised for sale in Darwin with the engine removed and looking pretty tatty. It obviously underwent a restoration not long before being photographed here departing after the Antique Aeroplane Association of Australia's National Fly-in and airshow.

This Queensland-based, 1959 180B was allocated N9135T, although it was probably exported directly to Australia. It was registered VH-WIT on 20 January 1960 and used until 1972 by Airland Improvements of Cootamundra on ag work.
