Delivered to Arkia on Dec 20th, 1969, this machine saw previous service as G-APTB with BUA from January 1960 and Hunting Clan from June 1959. Purchased by BAF for spares in 1989, she was later broken up. Sister-ship 4X-AVE is in the immediate background with a selection of IDFAF transporters further back.

Delivered new in November 1957 and sold to Aer Lingus as EI-AOM in November 1966. On 24 March 1968, while en route from Cork (EICK) to Heathrow (EGLL) the aircraft crashed into the Irish Sea following a loss of control. Officially the cause was unknown, but (in the absence of FDR/CVR) circumstantial evidence pointed to a LH tailplane failure followed by an inverted spin.

First flown at Hurn on 29 August 1957 at Hurn as part of an order for BOAC Associated Companies. The first operator was Middle East Airlines where c/n 240 flew as OD-ACU. MEA sub-leased OD-ACU to Jersey Airlines before purchasing it from BOAC for lease to Jordan Airways in 1961. Returned to MEA in 1964, it was sold to Air Rhodesia as VP-WAR in 1968. In 1976 it was sold to Aviation Hire & Travel as ZS-JPU and leased to Swazi Air. Re-registered 3D-AAL the same year, it remained on lease to Swazi until 1979 when returned for lease to Air Rhodesia. Sold to Air Zimbabwe in 1981 and scrapped in 1986
