Default Pionair withdrawing Convairs

It looks like Pionair no longer needs some of the Convairs in their freighter fleet.

VH-PDL was deleted from the Aust. reg on 13/04/2017.
VH-PDW went to HARS, Parkes NSW for display several weeks ago.


Does anyone know VH-PDL ultimate fate ?
Hopefully not coke cans.

Anymore to go ?

TIA

The engineless Convair that was sitting in the grass @ bankstown is gone. There's a convair behind the hangar with one engine attached. Couldn't see a rego on it but it has 516 or 518 painted on the nose.
