Why this aircraft was in New Zealand then is unrecorded, but TEAL - New Zealand's national airline - did later lease TAA DC-4s for services when Sandringham flying boats were grounded and for services from Christchurch. Ordered new by TAA and entered service on 4 November 1946. Leased to British Commonwealth Pacific Airlines from April 1948 to February 1949 and registered as VH-BPB. Returned to TAA and registration renewed as VH-TAB but name changed to "John Gilbert". Later converted to a freighter in 1959. Renamed "David Collins". Sold in 1970.

Publicity photo probably taken by Vickers ahead of VH-TVA's delivery to Australia. It never entered service after suffering a training accident at Mangalore, Victoria, on October 31, 1954. The crew was attempting a three-engine take-off when control was lost.
