Ollie, that would be XR444, ditched,as you say with fuel starvation on 26th June 1972 with 3 crew and eight pax : struck off charge a month later. It subsequently went to the Army Veterinary Centre at Melton Mowbray where it was used to train ‘sniffer dogs’….Regards, Brian S.

Sorry for reanimating this thread…
I’m a bit irritated by looking at these two images dating back to 1986/87 – 14-15 years later!

You can’t see the serial no – maybe it’s not XR444….???
