Two Viastra II machines were purchased by West Australian Airways Ltd with the first one registered as VH-UOO and the crashed specimen being VH-UOM. It appears the airline was very unhappy with them as they failed to live up to contractual performance expectations but the deal had to go through as at the time the Commonwealth Government banned the purchasing of non-British aircraft.
