Ex XY-ACN, G-AKNB, Indian AF and RAF FD789, USAAF 42-32817. Became EI-BDU on 18 October 1978 and was restored as G-AKNB on 29 January 1982, before going to the USA as N59NA on 22 July 1985. It still flies (with its original USAAF serial) as 42-32817/3J-B, with the name Bones, in spurious D-Day colours.

This frame has too long a history to detail here. A shortened version is that it was once with BEA, Silver City and BUA. After Intra it went Clyden Airways in Oct 78 as EI-BDU. Back to UK as G-AKNB with Aces High in Jan 82. To Northern Airways Jul 85 as N59NA. Converted to BT-67 by Basler. To Air Tec Aug 2018 as N141PR.
