This S-2E was delivered aboard HMAS Melbourne in November 1967. It was among several damaged in hangar arson attack at Nowra but was not repaired for operation, instead being used as training airframe and later displayed outside the FAA Museum. After storage and maintenance work there it was flown to HARS at Albion Park in September 2019 where it is kept in flyable condition alongside S-2G N12-152333. S-2G N12-152812 is their third Tracker, also under long term return to airworthiness.

When this photo was taken, this Tracker was stored at the back of the FAA Museum. It will be used by the Historic Aircraft Restoration Society to restore N12-152333 into flying condition.

Became a training aid after being damaged in the hangar fire that destroyed most of the RAN S-2E Trackers.
