In late 1998 this aircraft had been sent to QANTAS as part of a GPS installation project (AIR5195), the first of the HS748's to go into be worked on. The aircraft's control surface gust locks somehow failed one night when the aircraft was parked outside and then the tail was subject to some high wind loads (cause of wind - natural or aircraft-made - never confirmed). As the decision was being taken around the same time to phase out the HS748 fleet from the ADF, they stopped modifying the HS748s with GPS. The aircraft was to go to the Fire School at Amberley as a training aid but was sold 22/03/99, to International Aviation Pty Ltd and regd to Horizon Airlines Pty Ltd. Ferried from Kingsford-Smith to Bankstown as VH-IMG 15/07/99 and stored. Loaned to Australian Aviation Museum at Bankstown 16/04/03 for static display.
