Registered as G-AHPS and flown by British European Airways until 1955. After two abortive sales to Aero Express in Germany as D-CEDU & D-ABOM it was sold to Deutsche Flugdienst GmbH in January 1956 as D-ABOM and leased to Lufthansa who purchased it in April 58 when it became D-BORA. In November 1961 it was transferred to Condor Flugdienst who continued to use it on freight services for Lufthansa. After being ferried to Biggin Hill in early 1964 it was purchased by Autair and ferried to Luton where it was broken up for spares.
