Built at Thruxton between 1973 and 1975, and first flown from Southampton Water on 28 June 1975. It was badly damaged in a take-off accident following engine failure at Thorpe Park on 23 September 1982, following which it was rebuilt at Bodmin in 1985/86. New owner Bill Hosie Snr was sadly killed when this aircraft broke up on 23 May 1987 over Carrick Roads, Falmouth.
