First flew July 1962 as CK-MCK in the colours of Maritime
Central Airways (who never actually flew the type). Having
taken part in the Farnborough show of 1962, the following
August saw it being allocated to Cruz Airways as PI-C910
with the colour scheme changed to chocolate and cream, but
this deal failed as well. In December 1963 Autair used G-ASKK
before being sold to British Midland Airways in February
1965. Next was a move to British United Airways which was
setting up a subsidiary British United Island Airways which
became British Island Airways. In 1980 BIA was taken over
by Air UK and the aircraft was painted in the colours you
see today. G-ASKK took its last flight on 30th March 1985
from Southampton to Norwich and was sold to CNAM for the
sum of £1.
