First flown as PH-ZBR in June 1978. To Royal Swazi National Airways in July 1978 where it remained until August 2002 by which time Royal Swazi had become Airlink Swaziland. To African Business and Transportation in August 2002, parked 2004. Registered ZS-PNL with Foster Aero. Broken up at Lanseria by 2011. This airframe was caught in the crossfire twice. First during 'Mad' Mike Hoare's attempt to overthrow the Seychellois president in November 1981 when the mercenaries flew to the island on the aircraft and it ended in a fire fight. The second time was a hijack incident on a flight from Maputo to Maseru. The aircraft was repaired both times.
