This 19 June 1970 delivered NF-5A was part of the Vliegend Uit Dienst (VUD, Fly Away from Service), also reported as Vervroegd Uit Dienst (Early Retirement from Service), section at Gilze Rijen. K-3012 was kept in flyable storage after its operational career with the Koninklijke Luchtmacht (Royal Netherlands Air Force) before it was sold and flown over to Greece as 3012 on 11 April 1991. It Freedom Fighter is here seen in the hangar next to the cross servicing platform of Gilze Rijen.

After being fitted with a Pegasus engine and canopy, K3012 was shipped to Canada for cold weather trials . It was tested on skis during its time in Canada. Note that Sweden had been operating Harts with Pegasus engines since 1934. When K3012 was returned to the UK in 1939 it became an instructional airframe. Photo from: Library and Archives Canada
