On 1942 the six surviving Do-24K of the lot were delivered to the 41 Sqn of the Riyal Australian Air Forced. One of them carried the squadron code DQ-H and used as troop transports.
Actually an ex Spanish Do-24T has been rebuild and painted as the X-24, and can be found in the Militaire Luchtvaart Museum, Soesterberg, the Netherlands.
