Retired to the Yorkshire Air Museum in October 1997. Scrapped by the museum circa May 2015.

Seen on a glorious summers evening, doing engine tests on the disused runway 23 at Dublin. This was an experience not to be had nowadays, with much tighter security and airfield safety regulations. G-CEXS was sold to Air Spray in Canada as C-GZCF.

N285F was broken up at Shannon following a landing accident in 1999.

On 1 March 1999 the crew of this aircraft had a lucky escape after they momentarily touched down at Shannon with landing-gear still retracted. While the machine was climbing away for a circuit to land, the propeller assembly and part of No. 3 engine fell to the ground. Electrical power was lost and the only serviceable flight instruments available were the standby artificial horizon and wet compass. So as to maintain control, No. 4 engine had to be feathered and a successful landing was made with only No. 1 engine fully operative and No. 2 producing partial power. N285F was later broken up.

Photographed during the Yorkshire Air Museum Night Shoot. There was enough light from the close by illuminated Victor and Gannet aircraft for me to get this shot. This aircraft was broken up by the museum circa May 2015.

Taxiing from the cargo ramp for an engine run-up.
