Delivered to the RAF 31 August 1954 as WV646 and placed into storage without RAF service. On 27 September 1954 it was transferred to the Southern Rhodesian Air Force as SR137. When the SRAF became the Royal Rhodesian Air Force the serial was changed RRAF301/K. It later served with the Rhodesian Air Force as 3601 and was taken on by the Air Force of Zimbabwe in 1980. After a spell with the Bulawayo Boy Scouts it was sold to the SAAF Museum. The Provost was written off in a crash at AFB Swartkop 19 March 1998.
