Temporarily civil registered as G-ALWA for an overseas sales tour to India in Spring 1950. Written off 27 June 1951 whilst flying for the AIEU (Aircraft Instrument Examinations Unit), when it crashed near the village of Wilby, Suffolk. Both crew on board were killed. Only achieving limited success, fifteen production Athena T.2s were used for armament training by the RAF Flying College at Manby between 1950 and 1955.

Designed against a contract to supply a carrier capable Anti Submarine aircraft the B-88/YB.1 was the ultimate development of the earlier B-54/YA.7 and B-54/YA.8. The one and only B-88/YB.1 first flew on 19th July 1950 and appeared at Farnborough a couple of months later. While the earlier versions shared the same basic airframe, the aircraft was powered by an Armstrong Siddeley Double Mamba engine, which also powered the Fairey Gannet which went on to win the contract. SOC in December 1955, the aircraft was scrapped at Fleetlands in 1963.
