Seen while operating for National Air Charter. Damaged in a fire in 1998 while someone was trying to steal AVGAS it was repaired and sold to Nelair Charters of Nelspruit in 2001. Bought by Skyclass Aviation in 2008 and Indigo Aviation of Tanzania in 2010. Indigo had their license withdrawn in July 2010 and the aircraft made its final flight from Zanzibar to Dar es Salaam in 2011. It was still present beside the airport fire station in May 2021
