On static display at Greenham Common's 1974 International Air Tattoo in the colours of the Empire Test Pilots School, Boscombe Down. Constructed in 1959 as a Twin Pioneer Series 1, G-APRS. Converted to a Series 3. Transferred to the Ministry of Technology in 1965 for ETPS use as XT610. In 1975 joined Flight One at Staverton, Gloucestershire, as G-BCWF and flew with them on aerial survey work until 1991. Restored as G-APRS by the Air Atlantique Group in 1993 for pleasure flying and airshow displays.
