2 HS748’s survive in preservation in Australia of the 12 originally operated by the RAAF/RAN from 1967 to 2004.
One is A10-601 (c/n 1601) was one of ten that flew with the RAAF as Navigation Trainers until its retirement into the RAAF Museum at Point Cook in 2004.
The second is N15-709 (c/n1709) and was one of two operated by the RAN, it was sold to TAG Aviation and departed Australia in 2001 for Norwich UK, only to return in the same year for intended Australian freight operations, it was retired into the Australian Aviation Museum at Bankstown in 2003.
