Stripped down to its previous identity of EI-BJS awaiting respray. This aircraft was restored as G-BFZR on 30 Apr 2004 (from EI-BJS)(G-INFO) which has a picture of it as such in the colour scheme above (which was its 2nd Irish cs). It crashed near Oxford on 15 Oct 2004 (AAIB) and was cancelled by the CAA 03 Nov 2005. The nosewheel collapsed in the accident. The picture above looks to be after this in preparation for re-painting, but it never became active again as EI- or as G- . It became a publicity aircraft for CSE as GO-CSE. The earliest picture I could find was 10 Apr 2011 at BOH at www.flickr.com/photos/leeweston/5604958637/ presumably after the paint job. It is now in the Bournemouth Aviation Museum. (with thanks to AD for the additional information).
