There are four at Coventry Airport:

G-AMRA - Owned and operated by Class Flight LTD.
G-AMPY - Pollution Spray Aircraft working for RVL Group
G-ANAF - Operated by RVL Group on specialised survey work

Not sure what the four reg is but it is neither owned or operated by either of the above 2 companies believe it is privately owned.

G-AMPY, My very first flight took place on this a/c, Staverton to Jersey 1977. It belonged to Intra Airways back then, I can recall going to the loo in the tail- end and seeing daylight through the fuselage, as I stood there answering the call of nature.

Also of note was the fact that the traffic on the M5 southbound was moving slightly faster than we were .
Fond memories, good to see it`s still serviceable.
