G-AOPL (VS609) was bought from Shackletons at Sywell in September 1966 and flown to Sharjah, leaving the same month. It had a number of adventures on the way, including engine failure over the Alps, and repairs in Bagdhad after an engine fire on takeoff. It arrived in Sharjah via Abu Dhabi in January 1967, and was sold to South Africa in mid 1967, becoming ZS-EUS. I have seen that it is now in the SAAF museum at Swartkop.

When I visited the SAAF Museum in 2007 I was told it had left and returned to its owner ‘locally’. A real shame as it was one I had hoped to see during my travels over there. I’ve been unable to find out any other info regarding its current whereabouts or status since then.
