This aircraft was delivered in 1948 and suffered an accident taking off from Baluza in the Sinai on 1 November 1973. After that it was withdrawn and preserved in Mitzpe Revivim only to suffer another mishap in 1995 when a storm blew it over. Its mortal remains sat on the edge of the settlement for some years. The tail bears a 115sq badge, likely that unit was involved in looking after this aircraft.
