Served with 787, 899, 898 and 738 NAS before retirement at Sydenham, where it became an instructional airframe. Later spent some time at Halton and Culdrose before ending up as seen here at the Midland Air Museum, displayed in Suez colours - the yellow and black stripes were to aid recognition of friendly forces.
