Photo Comment

The aircraft had brought in passengers to attend the 1998 British F1 Grand Prix at the nearby Silverstone Circuit. It was cancelled from the British register on 28th January 2008 as sold to Spain, but never wore Spanish marks as on 1st March 2008, still marked as G-PASV, it was involved in a drug smuggling flight to Morocco and was intercepted on its return landing in a field near Consuega, Spain, where it was damaged when it sunk into soft earth and was subsequently written off.
