Here depicted when with the second operator with small "N.E.A." titles in the tail and furthermore in the color scheme of Publi-Air advertising for a Belgian holiday resort at Tenerife called "Ten Bel". In less bright circumstances, on February 3 1974, it tragically crashed shortly after take-off at Beverlo airfield when performing an acro at (too) low altitude, killing all three occupants.
