Seen here during its relatively short service career with 53 Sqdn, XR362 was the prototype Belfast, first flown on 5th January 1964 having initially been registered G-ASKE, marks which were restored for a year in mid-1965 with the Ministry of Aviation. When the 10 Belfasts were withdrawn from RAF service in 1976, XR362 was placed in storage at Kemble. Registered G-BEPE to Eurolatin in March 1977, it was moved to Stansted and then Southend where it became the first to undergo civilianisation for Transmeridian Air Cargo/HeavyLift - see my photo at #20855

If all goes well, 'Hector' could be flying again within a couple of years. US registered in August 2023, ex RP-C8020 and 9L-LDQ with Heavylift Cargo Airlines (Australia), G-HLFT and XR365. Stored at Cairns since January 2009, work to get the world's last potentially flyable Belfast back in the air was not helped by flooding at Cairns airport on 17th December 2023 during Cyclone Jasper, causing water to submerge the Belfast up to undercarriage level.

The aircraft appears to be post-maintenance and respray, with its registration not yet applied. The previous light grey lower fuselage has been replaced by white.

I was fortunate enough to spend some quality time with this the last Shorts Belfast capable of flight, and its owner recently. The aircraft is undergoing an extensive overhaul process. Much of the work internally is the focus, with the 6 onboard generators now completed and the flight deck overhaul halfway done. The goal is to return 'Hector' to the skies for oversized freight haulage in about 2 years.
