This aircraft was built to an RAF order and became HG656. It was sent to New Zealand and became NZ527 with the RNZAF. After the war it was civilianised and became ZK-ALB and served with Mt Cook Airlines before being exported to Australia in 1971 to become VH-IAN, later VH-UTV. Specially re-painted as A33-1 for the RAAF 90th Anniversary Air Pilgrimage the week before. Seen here at the Antique Aeroplane Association of Australia's National Fly-in.
