Question on DH Hornet Moth VH-RKM ex Darwin Aero club

Found a black and white photo of Hornet Moth VH-RKM taken at Darwin circa 1954. Around 1959 I flew it at Darwin as an instructor for the Darwin Aero Club and was involved in a 720 degree ground loop when the student stuffed up the landing. Amazingly no damage apart from scruff marks on the fabric of the lower starboard wing tip.

Can anyone tell me if the aircraft is still around and it's history?

Nice photo, seems it started life as VH-UUD, was re-registered VH-PMG in 1956, became VH-BMG in 1957, re-registered VH-RKM in 1960.
