After being retired from TAC HeavyLift service, several were parked at
Southend Airport for a number of years, until one aircraft was refurbished and flown to
Australia in 2003. This aircraft is no longer flying; it was often visible parked on the General Aviation side of
Cairns International Airport in
Queensland, in company with one or two of the company's Boeing 727s.
Now registered
RP-C8020, it was moved back over to the general aviation (western) side of the Cairns airport on 19 August 2011, after spending the best part of a year sitting on the Cairns International apron where it had been moved prior to the scrapping of the remaining company Boeing 727 (RP-C8016) at the end of September 2010.
