Ex XF756, G-AMPP, KK136, 43-49456. Used by Dan-Air as its 'gate guard', falsely painted as G-AMSU, their very first aircraft. It is actually G-AMPP, sold to Aces High in November 1991 who sold it on to Eurodisney in France, where it was put on display. In 2002 it went to a museum in the Netherlands. In 2005 it was used in a film about the Berlin Airlift ("Die Luftbrucke") painted as KN491, in which the airframe was set ablaze. Subsequently reported as being with the Wings of Liberation Museum at Best, Netherlands, for restoration in USAAF markings.
