The guys from the Visiting Aircraft Section posing on top of what was a rare aircraft for Sharjah. Normally based at Akrotiri, Cyprus, the aircraft's routing was via Nairobi, then to Ndola, Zambia, where the squadron was on detachment for 9 months. Suffered a 'hard landing' at Manston and "damaged beyond repair" on 11th May, 1967 whilst being returned to the UK for storage. Allocated 7972M and scrapped there in 1990.

Test Regn of this a/c was D-HECL. Apart from the helicopter based here, there is another one based at Exeter Airport. The land which the air ambulance base is built on here was donated by the 'airfield' on a 125 year lease(from 2009 approx) so incurring no charges for the Devon Air Ambulance Trust.
