Hey Cargomaster,
I can supply a little more “informative” answer than the above response.. :rolleyes:
this is from : http://www.kiwiaircraftimages.com/b170.html
“The former NZ5912 (c/n13218, ex G-18-194), had became ZK-EPH, and was ferried to the UK in March 1981, where it was registered as G-BISU (May 6, 1981) to Instone Air Line Ltd. Instone used the aircraft (along with G-AMLK ex NZ5907) for carrying racehorses until 1986. The aircraft was then used by Air Atlantique for North Sea oil operation support until November 4, 1987. The aircraft was due for a major overhaul, and was delivered from Coventry to Duxford later that month, where it was loaned for display to the Duxford Aviation Society. In February 1988 the aircraft was offered for sale, and departed Duxford on December 8 for a ferry flight to Canada. The aircraft was delivered on January 25, 1989 to Edmonton having been registered C-FDFC for Trans-Provincial Airlines Ltd. The airline used the aircraft for oil support operations till it ceased trading in 1993. The aircraft was then sold to MRS4000, a consortium of British Airways pilots. Refurbished by Hawkair at Terrace B.C., the aircraft was ferried back to the UK in September 1994 for further restoration. The aircraft was subsequently displayed at Heathrow, Cranfield and other UK airfields. Unfortunately the Freighter was destroyed in a crash at Enstone in Oxfordshire on July 18, 1996. While departing to a display at Filton a swing developed on takeoff and when departing the runway the crew applied elevator to avoid a small control tower and spectators. At too low a speed the aircraft stalled at about 50 feet. The port wingtip touched ground and then the undercarriage collapsed as the aircraft slewed onto the grass severely damaging the aircraft . Three of the six passengers onboard received minor injuries. The aircraft was written off.”
Hope this is what you are looking for.
