Ex TS798, operated jointly by RAF Transport Command/BOAC, registered to BOAC as G-AGNV on 20 August 1945, and cancelled on 7 May 1955 after service with Skyways. Flown to Staverton on 24 September 1964 for preservation, and painted to represent Winston Churchill's LV633 'Ascalon'. It later went to RAF Museum Cosford where it was initially displayed in false marks as MW100 before being painted in correct markings.
