Operated by the Royal Navy Historic Flight. Ex N281L, N8476W, G-BCOW, D-CACO, G-9-64 and VX281. Still wearing the registration NX281L, having been registered as G-RNHF on 1 June 2007. Suffered engine failure on 28 April 2021 during only the second test flight after being fitted with a reconditioned Centaurus engine. The forced landing resulted in the aircraft being seriously damaged, with "minor injuries" to the crew. Restored as G-BCOW on 11 November 2021 for rebuild by The Fighter Collection.
