Test flown in the USA as N3635D. Sold to Ireland, and registered 28.4.58 as EI-AJY to Aviation Agencies Ltd, Dublin. G-APNJ was the first Cessna 310 to appear on the British civil register, being first registered as such on 2.6.58 to Robert Jones, Godalming, Surrey.
Sold on and re-registered several times between 1960 and 1971 until acquired by Yellow Bird Air Taxis Ltd, Blackbushe, Hampshire 16.12.71. The end of G-APNJ's flying career seems to have come about when the undercarriage collapsed on landing at Blackbushe on 15.3.73.
Although the damage sustained was apparently minor, G-APNJ was not repaired, and the C of A expired 28.11.74; it was not renewed. Sold on to Shackleton Aviation Ltd., London SW1 on 30.1.75 (but stored at Hurn/Bournemouth). Eventually disposed of to be a ground instructional airframe at Northbrook College, Shoreham, Sussex. In June 2004 G-APNJ was acquired by the Newark Air Museum, at Winthorpe, Nottinghamshire, where it became part of their collection, and has been on static display ever since.
