HARS is deeply honoured that it has been chosen by the Museum of Victoria to be the custodian of this historical treasure.  On a nationwide basis, HARS is recognised by government, military and private individuals as an organisation that can care for these treasures in an appropriate environment.

The aircraft is steeped in history with an interesting, and at times, exciting wartime background that was followed by a civilian life that included a substantial period of service as a BHP corporate aircraft.

Research is currently being conducted into the history of this special aircraft with updates to be followed soon.

HARS would like to extend a special thank you to its Transport Manager, Mr Alan Lever, who organised the specialised transport and logistics for the recovery of this aircraft from Nowra.
