Ex-N96094: to G-BFIW 12/1/1978. Sold to private owner based in Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates 26/9/1978. Crashed in Abu Dhabi in 1979; exact date and full details not known. However, there is this report:
"Many years ago I flew in a nearly new Cessna, which shortly after moved to the Middle East to be based. Later I heard it was destroyed in a bizarre mishap. The story went that it landed on a desert airstrip where it became stranded. It was decided to recover it by airlifting it out by helicopter but during the retrieval mission it apparently was dropped - hence one wrecked Cessna."
Registration G-BFIW Cancelled as aircraft "destroyed" 26/11/79
