First flew at Belfast in 12.59 and delivered to the RAF as XL658 "Adgara". Sold to Interconair 6.76 named "Deirdre". Written off at Shannon on 30.9.77 after severe vibration at 300ft on approach to r/w 24. An overshoot was attempted but the aircraft continued to sink and crashed short of the runway
