                                   Services for conversion to a crop duster.  It was later with Aerial Missions of Moorabbin and
                                   retired at Ballarat.   Barry Cosson of Stawell owned it for a while and it then went to Joe Drage's
                                   collection at Wodonga.  Barry Macclean saw it at an air show at Nowra, NSW in the 1990s
                                   (below) all decked out in its former RAAF livery, or a reasonable facsimile thereof.   In 1998
                                   it was sold to Kermit Weeks and is now on display at the Fantasy of Flight Museum, Polk City,
                                   Florida, registered N643AV (and displaying A6-25 of course).
