Ex ZS-DXM, F-BGSP, 44-8846. Withdrawn on 27 August 1979 and stored in airworthy condition at Creil, taking part in a flypast over the Champs Elysee for the 14 July 1984 Bastille Day parade. Became F-AZDX in 1985, and named 'Lucky Lady' (later 'Pink Lady'). Grounded in 2010 as no longer airworthy, and preserved at Cerny-La Ferte Alais near Paris.
