This aircraft was built as C-47-DL 42-5635 for the RAF (allocated serial FD769), but the aircraft was not taken up and went to BOAC (which operated the aircraft in RAF colours). It went to the newly established Israeli air force in 1950 as 4X-FAG/1401. The Israeli borrowed the aircraft to Uganda probably from the early or mid sixties until 1973. It then returned to the Israeli air force as 4X-FMF/040. It is now preserved at Eilat airport (with fake registration 4X-AES).
