Seen here during a demonstration to the USN. Registration cancelled in 1986 when owned by Australian company Bond Corporation which had taken a stake in Airship Industries. It appears G-SKSA was earmarked for conversion to a 500HL (heavy lift) but it did not happen. Airship Industries went into receivership in 1990 followed two years later by Bond Corporation.
