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 !
