Polished metal with Day Glo stripes on fuselage and all flying surfaces. Became G-AXNE 28/08/69. It was then with Enterprise Films titles on the nose flown from the UK to Portugal, Madeira and Dakar on to Bissau in Portuguese Guinea where it was impounded. It had apparently been destined for the Biafran Air Force. It was dismantled in 1973 by members of the Portuguese Air Force.
