Built as G-ARBB. Served Mexicana as XA-NAT. Stored in a densely packed area of the airport. Withdrawn from use in Dec 1970 and sold to Westernair in Apr 1973. Registered as N777WA a year later, but this reg was never applied to the aircraft. It was ultimately dismantled at Mexico City in the 1980s and trucked to the Parque Hidalgo de Irapuato in Irapuato. This became the Parque Zoológico Irapuato in Apr 1993, and the aircraft was displayed there until it was eventually broken up in March 2015.
