Delivered to the Army as XP282 August 1961. Sold and registered G-BGTC 12 October 1979. It was badly damaged at South Lodge Farm, Widmerpool on -2 October 1996, when it struck a car while going around from an aborted landing. With the port aileron damaged, the pilot was unable to maintain control, causing it to stall and crash into the adjoining field. It is still currently registered as of December 2024, albeit with Permit expired -9 June 1997. It was possibly scrapped in 2023 but this is unconfirmed.
