Registration was later changed to EWF and again to VH-PWN in December 1967 when it went to an East West subsidiary Pacific and Western Aviation. Qantas bought it for 6250 pounds late 1947 and operated it as VH-EAM until sold in 1953 to East West Airlines and re-registered as VH-EWA – their first DC3.
