Built for the RAF as a T.10 and delivered 27 September 1950. Sold to Ireland in June 1956, becoming EI-AHP but struck off in December that year and returned to the UK. Registered G-AOZU in January 1957 and converted to Mk 22A standard. Exported to Nigeria in December 1962, becoming 5N-AGP. Re-exported back to the UK and re-registered G-AOZU in May 1990. Sold to Australia in 1997, becoming VH-RWI(4) on 15 July - the second Chippie to carry that identity.
