G-APDC was constructed at Hatfield, Herts., first flew on 23rd September 1958 and was one of the first two of nineteen delivered to BOAC on 30th September 1958. It served for seven years, before being sold to Malaysian Airlines as 9M-AOC, then was re-registered 9V-BAT with Malaysia-Singapore Airlines.
