Here seen such on an airshow at Beauvechain Air Base in a white livery carrying their titles just behind the doors window (see also upper left inset). On December 8 1969 it was cancelled from the register going the same day to a Dutch private user L.A. Gravemaker and re-registered as "PH-KAH". Two years later on February 15 it had a fatal accident at Schinnen (the Netherlands) but luckely without casualties of the two people on board.
