Rolling down to a Special Forces secured area at Kandahar. The a/c made its first flight on 2 Mar'83, delivered on 28 Mar'83 to 32sq at RAF Northolt. ZD704, together with some 80 US Army aircraft, was damaged by a huge hailstorm on 13 Apr'13 while parked at Kandahar. The BAe125 was deemed unable to fly, and was transported back to the UK with US help. Assessment showed it was damaged to be beyond economical repair. ZD704 went into storage at St.Athan and was moved to RAF Manston as an instructional airframe with the Defence Fire Training & Development Center.
