Became G-BVYI on 31 January 1995, and cancelled on 6 June 1995 on transfer to US marks as N289XF. It made the Atlantic crossing to the USA in July 1995, the first such flight by a Hunter. The US registration was cancelled on 13 January 2004, and the Hunter was broken up in Canada for spares, the cockpit section being preserved.
