Description: on June 3 1977 its CofA did expire and was laid up at Antwerp airport. On June 24 1978 it went via V. Melotte to A.P.S. Antwerp Pilot School (of R. De Vylder), however it remained laid up at Antwerp airport for quite some years, here seen such in one piece when outside, in later years it was seen dismantled inside a hangar. In 1991 it was sold (but not registered) to a private user (J. Haentjes) which was only interested in the engine for a home build airplane at his residence in Lochristi (Belgium). Later the remains went to V. Melotte and these were possible also transported to Kiewit airfield. It was cancelled from the register on August 6 2020.
