Scrapped at Ardmore after being withdrawn from use in 1979. The forward fuselage, wing centre section and engines shipped to the Cook Islands for use as a wind generator on a set of The Silent One (1985). Engines later sold in the US. Rest was still corroding away at Aitutaki as recently as 2008. This photo is copyright © Geoff Goodall, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
