Operated by TAA under a swap deal with Ansett in which it received three TAA Viscounts for two DC-6Bs. It was to allow the two airlines to operate identical fleets on identical schedules to bring stability to the airline industry after the collapse of ANA. The identical fleets crumbled in the 1980s and deregulation introduced in the 1990s. Neither TAA nor Ansett have survived.

VH-ASU came to TAA from Qantas when TAA took over Qantas' Queensland operations. It had originally been built for the RAAF. TAA sold it to a cropdusting operator, Airfarmers, in Victoria in 1955. It continued as an agricultural aircraft, later registered VH-APJ, until withdrawn from use in 1964. Its fate after that is uncertain. One report says it was burnt and another says it became spare parts. Photo from: State Library of Queensland

TAA publicity photo of its new DC-4. TAA would operate it until it crashed on approach to Brisbane on May 24, 1961 while on a freight flight. The captain had a heart attack and collapsed over the controls as he tried to exit his seat.
