Following engine failure, force-landed in the sea. The crew was uninjured but the aircraft had to be “written-off” due to salt-water corrosion, following immersion in the sea.
Following storage in the Apprentice School, this aircraft was delivered to Waterford Regional Airport in August 1998 for fire drill training and evacuation procedures, in exchange for the fuselage of a de Havilland D.H.104 Dove 6 (c/n 04485, ex G-ASNG) which had been used at the airport for this type of training.
