A52-2n/aFB.4004/04/44 2 AP. Converted to PR and was the prototype Australian built solid-nose PR40 of which six were built (A52-2,4,6,7,9 and 26). 26/05/44 1 APU for direction finding loop to be calibrated. The RAF status cards notes ‘not to be held at APU for longer than one day. Required urgently for operations NWA’ (North West Australia). 29/05/44 1 PRU Coomalie Creek NT.

On 25/06/45 Pilot FOFF Ken Boss-Walker suffered an engine failure over Sourabaya NEI (Netherlands East Indies) and flew the 10.5 hour return trip to Australia of 1450km on one engine.
