Converted to production standard from the Vickers/BAC Prototype, to become the only 1109 Series and owned by Sir Feddie Laker. After conversion was initially used on a series of short leases, before being leased to and operated by British United Airways and thence Britiish Caledonian.

A heavy landing at Gatwick on the 28th January whilst on a ferry flight from Heathrow, damaged the Aircraft beyond economic repair, resulting in the Aircraft being broken up. See: G-ARTA London Gatwick 28 January 1972
