Operated by 216 Squadron RAF. Became G-BDIV on 1 September 1975 with Dan-Air, and was in service until 12 November 1979. It was apparently the last Comet to be scrapped at Lasham, in 1985. The registration was cancelled on 5 March 1987 as permanently withdrawn from use. This photo is copyright © Chris England, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
