Made an emergency landing at Viru Viru on 1st November 2014 after losing the propeller on No3 engine during a ferry flight from Opa Locka to Cochabamba, Bolivia. By October 2015 repairs had been carried out but the aircraft has remained grounded at Viru Viru and is still present in August 2021

This lovely Heron (ex Royal Navy XM296) unfortunately suffered an in-flight prop #3 separation, but made a successful emergency landing at Viru Viru, Santa Cruz, Bolivia. The separated prop also damaged the #4 engine. Aircraft stored, and still there by mid 2020.

Registered to R&R Holdings Inc. It was ex XM296 with the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force Queens Flight before that. On 1 Nov 2015, en route to a new owner in Bolivia, the aircraft made an emergency landing at Santa Cruz-Viru Viru IAP (VVI) in Bolivia following the in flight separation of the no. 3 prop. The prop struck engine no. 4, causing substantial damage to that engine. The latest news I have received is that it was restored and awaiting sale.

Entered Royal Navy service as XM296 in 1958 then registered G-BVBI 1993 to 1996, when it was registered as above. Here it stayed overnight on delivery from UK to Washington State. On 1 November 2014 it made an emergency landing at Santa Cruz-Viru Viru Airport, Bolivia after the No.3 propeller separated and hit the No.4 engine. Registration cancelled on 20 March 2019. The Naval Air Command titles date back to its Royal Navy time.
