84 Squadron 'Scorpiones Pungun' began to receive Beverleys at RAF Khormaksar in May 1958, where they served until September 1967 after which time the Squadron gave up its Beverleys, moved to Sharjah and became an Andover Squadron. XL149 was flown to RAF Finningley for preservation but ended up being scrapped in 1977. The nose section survived and is now on display at the South Yorkshire Aircraft Museum/Aeroventure.
