Delivered to RAN 29/05/73 arriving Nowra NSW 07/06/73. Later coded '800'. Fitted with specialised electronic equipment between 1978 and 1980 and subsequently used for electronic countermeasures training. Initially operated by 851 Squadron and transferred to 723 Squadron 31/08/84. Decommissioned 23/06/00 and ferried East Sale for storage/sale 26/06/00. The logistics of moving such a large aircraft proved too much and N15-709 was broken up in 10/2019. On 23/10/2019 the forward fuselage plus a 2-metre section of the centre fuselage containing the EWTS arrived at FAAM Nowra
