207's aircraft supported the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, acting as lead navigators
and transports. Shown in BBMF livery at RAF Coningsby in August 1996, VP981 was flown
in this role by the BBMF after 207 disbanded. It was eventually replaced in this role, not without
some dissent, by the BBMF Dakota. It was auctioned in 1998, and bought by Air Atlantique.

Air Atlantique registered it as G-DHDV and it is operated as part of their Historic Flight
out of Baginton Airport, Coventry. It is shown here in re-build at Baginton in August 1999.
Notice what looks like a groundcrew upgrade !
