The aircraft is wearing Dan-Air livery dating from the time when it was used as a crew ferry for that airline. It was re-registered G-EGEE in November 1983, and although its last C of A expired in March 2008, it wasn't cancelled from the register until 15th February 2011, although it was reported as being seen stored at Hawarden as late as December 2016. At that time fixed wing aircraft were allowed to land inside the race circuit at Silverstone on what was one of the old WWII runways, and the aircraft had brought in passengers to attend the 1983 F1 British Grand Prix.
