Comments: One of the largest aircraft in the collection of the Ulster Aviation Society at Long Kesh. This machine last flew on 18 April 1994, from RAF Aldergrove to Langford Lodge airfield, on a flight lasting for just 92 seconds. After it was flown into Aldergrove, it was realised that it would be impossible to move the aircraft by road unless it was dismantled. The aircrew therefore decided to make the short hop to Langford Lodge.
