Description: on June 12 1980 it went to Dan-Aviation, established on May 8 1980 based at Antwerp airport and one of the founders was a well known pilot D. Cabooter. Here seen in the livery inhereted from the previous operator but with a tail logo (see also upper left inset). On March 15 1990 it was cancelled from the register supposedly migrating to the Netherlands for a Dutch private user Polderman as "PH-PAT", a reservation was made earlier that year on January 10, and it was ferried to Lelystad airport (the Netherlands) around that time still registered as "OO-PAT". But ultimate the registration was not taken up with the reservation being cancelled in August 1994. It remained laid up at Lelystad airport, in April 2009 seen all white without markings in the MLA-vliegschool hangar, moving in September 2014 to another hangar of Wings over Holland.
