Written off on 17 december 1969 when operating from HMS Endurance. It ran out of fuel after carrying external loads (barrels of jet fuel) between Port Salvador, East Falklands and Foam Creek for two hours. It ditched and the floatation gear was deployed but it rolled to port. The four crew swam 80 yards to shore. After 12 hours floating inverted it beached at Sheila Creek, Port Salvador. It was then towed to the settlement where it became a children's plaything. During the Falklands War, Argentine pilots reported its presence to higher authorities who thought it had been used to insert the SAS.
