Operated by the Antarctic Task Force from Tandil it was modified with a Turbomeca Marboré III C Jet engine (fitted inside the tail underneath the rudder) and a JATO pack. Withdrawn from use in 1970 and later displayed at the museums previous home at Aeroparque Jorge Newbery, it was relocated to Morón in 2001.
