One of the aircraft assembled at Southend for the nascent BHAM. Eventually passed into the Historic Aircraft Museum (Southend) and then was to become G-JETH. The wings spar attachments were found to be cut through so FB.3 WM983 was acquired and became G-JETH instead. XE489 with the wings of WM983 (in themselves from WV909!) was sold in the Netherlands. The aircraft marked as "XE489" at Charlwood is G-JETH with the fuselage of WM983 and just the wings from the original XE489.
