This Sealand was registered as G-AKLS in Nov-1947. This was cancelled in Mar-1949 to be sold to Trinidad as VP-TBC but this registration was not taken up. It was again registered G-AKLS in Nov-1950 and cancelled in May-1951. It then was testflown as G-14-2 before being sold to Yugoslavia . In Oct-1951 it was delivered with the ferry registration YU-CFK and on arrival became 0662 with the Air Force. Its last flight was made 18-Dec-1962 and it became part of the Muzej Vazduhoplovstva Beograd. Reports that this aircraft flew with JAT as YU-CFK are erroneous.

Another oddball at the Belgrade Aeronautical Museum. Only 25 Sealands were built.

Only two complete examples of the 25 Short Sealand amphibians built remain, the other in India (although there is a third dismantled in Northern Ireland). Designed in the late 1940s, it was not a success and suffered from being underpowered. This example was one of two supplied to Yugoslavia and was originally G-AKLS then YU-CFK for delivery, serving the Yugoslav AF till 1962
