On arrival at Luqa from Italy; transferred to the Armed Forces of Malta and became 9H-ACB. Landing incident on 5 May 1993 when aircraft ground-looped on landing and was damaged; transferred "on permanent loan" to the Malta Aviation Museum who restored it to airworthy condition and is on display at the Museum. (Although serial AS9207 was assigned, 9H-ACB was already WFU when the serial system came into use on 1 May 2000 and therefore never actually applied on the aircraft.) It is displayed as 9H-ACB.
