The crossed UK and French flags represent the unique status of New Hebrides as a jointly ruled Anglo-French condominium that finally ended on independence in 1980 and the birth of Vanuatu. With no New Hebrides register, the Drover initially carried Fijian registration. In June 1966 -FED became VP-PAD when New Hebrides got its own block within the British Colonial system. It crashed at Tannu Island on October 22, 1966 with the loss of eight lives.

Photo by TAA engineer Ron Pioch. It shows VH-DRA and VH-DRC (c/n 5007) on a remote cattle station to the north of Cloncurry after one flew in with an engineer to fix a problem with the other only to need repairs itself. -DRA was damaged at Charleville on April 19, 1965. It was rebuilt at Brisbane and sold to New Hebrides Airways as VP-PAG. -DRC became VH-FDS in 1963. It is now with the Queensland Air Museum.

VH-DRD crashed at Mooraberrie Station, Queensland, on January 11, 1952. Useful parts were salvaged but the airframe was abandoned. In 1980 the remains were recovered to Mount Isa to become a memorial to the Royal Flying Doctor Service using the fuselage of -DRD and components from VH-AZN c/n 5017. It has received little maintenance since it was mounted on a pedestal and despite plans to move it to Cloncurry for restoration, was still at Mount Isa in February 2018.

VH-DRD crashed at Mooraberrie Station, Queensland, on January 11, 1952. Useful parts were salvaged but the airframe was abandoned. In 1980 the remains were recovered to Mount Isa to become a memorial to the Royal Flying Doctor Service using the fuselage of -DRD and components from VH-AZN c/n 5017. It has received little maintenance since it was mounted on a pedestal and despite plans to move it to Cloncurry for restoration, was still at Mount Isa in February 2018.

Scanned from a slide supplied by the late RFDS doctor Tim O'Leary, this photo was taken by the captain of a TAA DC-3 as both aircraft were returning from the Brunette Downs races to Cloncurry. VH-DRB would later have is Gipsy Major engines replaced by Lycomings and be reregistered VH-FDR. The fuselage is now displayed at the Queensland Air Museum with a Gipsy Major engine installed.
