Operated by RAF Germany from Gatow, Berlin. To 9042M for ground instruction, then N4234C before returning to the UK, registered as G-BXES, on 19 April 1997. Flew as XL954 with Air Atlantique Classic Flight, but sold along with most of the rest of the fleet on the demise of "Classic Air Force". This aircraft was used as a covert spy plane during the Cold War, being equipped with cameras, unbeknown to the Soviets.
