On March 31 1981 it moved further to Ibis Avia (Antwerp airport). On March 3 1982 it arrived with Vliegclub Ursel (established on October 27 1978).where it's life cycle came to an end after a couple of accidents, the final one on January 1 1990 near Eeklo (Belgium) whereby it lost both wings on impact, but it was repaired with spares of OO-NAT. After an unofficial sale to West Aviation Club in December 1991 for non flying purpose, it was in September 1992 transported by road to a technical school in Veurne (Belgium) as instructional airframe. It was for years used by the school until being cut in pieces for spares (to rebuild "G-BUGX") after been sold in England on December 6 1997 and much later officially cancelled from the register, namely on February 21 2013.
