Operated by BEA from 1950 to 1959-12-09. Shell Aircraft 1960-01-04. Dan Air from 1966-06-03.
On 30 September 1968, after a touch-and-go landing at Gatwick Airport, the right main gear didn't lock up. As a result of a wheels-up landing on a foam carpet at Manston, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
