VH-CAE (c/n D-8358) was the second of DCA's Bonanzas and was registered new on 15 June 1967. This VH-CAE was actually the second DCA aircraft to carry those marks, the previous being a Tiger Moth. Along with the other DCA Bonanzas, VH-CAE was sold. It was re-registered from the CAA to Leslie Carter of Glenbrook, NSW, on 12 June 1992. It later changed hands and spent some time in Coonabarabran, NSW, before moving in June 2007 to Mundaring, WA.
