This Scout served with 656 Squadron and saw considerable action in the Falkland Islands conflict. After the end of its service life it served as an instructional airframe at Yeovil College and was earmarked for display at RAF Wattisham but is now on display at the South Yorkshire Aircraft Museum/Aeroventure.
