Overshooting Prestwick's then Runway 13. Built by Short Brothers and Harland, Belfast. Given the short transit time, approaches at Prestwick were often used by the manufacturer for test and training flights. Leased to Inter City Airlines in April 1981. Re-registered G-OGIL in 1989. Damaged beyond repair in a taxi-ing collision at Newcastle in 1992. Gill Air bought it from the insurers for spares. Remains later preserved at the North East Aircraft Museum, Sunderland.

Seen at Prestwick, about to go transatlantic to St John, NB (together with N17682). Entered military service in 1961 as G306 of the Ghana Air Force at Takoradi, retiring in 1973. At the time of this photograph the Otter was owned by Air Craftsmen Ltd of St John, NB, which specialised in buying and refurbishing ex-military Otters, and then selling them on to commercial operators. N17683 became C-GNLA, initially with Newfoundland Labrador Air Transport, and was operated commercially on Canada's Atlantic seaboard mainly from Goose Bay, NL. Written off in October 1990 when it sank into Shapio Lake, NL, following a landing accident.
