Setting off on a farewell flight prior to disbandment of the 21 Sqn flight at RAF Benson in January 1976 in company with XP328 and XP330. They were fitted as VIP transports with 5 Britannia seats in the cabin along with carpet and trim/insulation. Preserved today at the City of Norwich Aviation Museum in a bogus SAR scheme.
