Ex NH238 (RAF). Operated with the Netherlands AF as H-103 and H-60 between 1947 and 1953 and the Belgian AF as SM-36 between 1953 and 1956. One of several acquired by COGEA Nouvelle for use as target tugs and registered to them as OO-ARE in 1956. Sold in the UK in June 1961 but damaged at Elstree and soon afterwards and moved to the USA in 1970 becoming N238V. Bought by Doug Arnold in 1979 and returned to the UK and made its first flight as G-MKIX/NH238 D-A in 1984. Registration cancelled in 2002 and believed stored.
