On May 21 1991 it was registered to DC Air Service based at Charleroi airport, here seen such at its home base in an updated livery without titles. Sadly this heli crashed on June 5 1994 when trying to land in gusty winds at Namur (Belgium), luckely without casualties. The fuselage was stored for some time at St-Pieters-Leeuw heliport and was decades later, namely on January 14 2019, cancelled from the register.
