Delivered new to Eastern in August 1959, it went to Falconair as SE-FGC in September 1969 and then to Sterling Sweden in 1970. Its subsequent history is too confused to detail here, but it appears that its lease to Southeast lasted just a few months from October 1977 until it was re-registered N432MA in December 1977 and converted to cargo configuration in October 1978. It ended its days in the the UK with Channel Express initially as N347HA and later G-OFRT which was cancelled on 12 May 2003 and the aircraft was parted out at Coventry.
