This HS-748 was former South African Airways ZS-SBV, delivered February 17, 1971. Bought by Austin Airways in November 1983, the aircraft would fly with Air Ontario in 1987 and Air Creebec in 1989. On November 29, 1991, an engine exploded on take-off at Rivière-au-Saumon, Quebec and C-GGOO was destroyed by the subsequent fire after an abort. There were no fatalities and the cause was traced to contaminated fluid in the water/methanol system from a mis-labled drum.
