The aircraft had brought in passengers to attend the 1998 British F1 Grand Prix at nearby Silverstone Circuit. It was later sold in the French Antilles as F-GXES but tragically on 5th May 2012, whilst performing an emergency ambulance flight, it crashed into the sea off Tintamarre Island shortly after take-off from Grand Case Airport on Saint-Martin. All on board, pilot, patient, nurse and doctor were killed.
