New aircraft, registered to Irish Air Charters 15 April 1959. Cancelled 13 May 1959 upon sale in the UK, where it was registered G-APUI 21 May 1959. On 25 July 1963 while crop-spraying at Ware Farm, Good Easter, Essex, it descended to start a spray run into sun but collided with a line of overhead HT cables on the boundary of the field. The aircraft dived into the ground, nosed over and came to rest inverted. The pilot died in the accident and the aircraft was completely consumed by the fire that had broken out upon striking the cables. Cancelled by the CAA 25 July 1963 as Destroyed.
