Built in Feb-66 by Short Brothers & Harland in Belfast, NI, UK. The aircraft was first flown with the Shorts test registration G-52-13 and delivered to the UK Royal Air Force serialled XR368 in Mar-66.
A high level decision at the UK Ministry of Defence saw the whole fleet grounded by mid 1976 and this aircraft was sold to Pan African Freight Liners as G-BEPS in Apr-77. It was sold to HeavyLift Cargo Airlines in Sep-78. It was permanently retired at Southend, UK in Apr-01 and was eventually broken up there in Nov-08.

München-Riem
December 1989
G-BEPS
Short SC-5 Belfast C1
1822 / 7
HeavyLift Cargo Airlines
A very rare visitor to Riem, G-BEPS is taxiing to runway 25 for take-off. According to my notes, three of the ten Belfasts built visited Riem: SH1816 (G-BEPE) on 3 June 1980, SH1822 (G-BEPS) in August 1989 and December 1989, March/April 1990 and May 1992 as well as SH1819 (G-HLFT) in May 1990.
First flight as G-52-13 with Short Brothers Plc on 21 February 1966. In service as XR368 Theseus with 53 Squadron, RAF, at Brize Norton. In 1976, 53 Sqn was disbanded and Theseus was sold to Euro-Latin Commercial Ltd (PANAF) as G-BEPS. Re-registered to Transmeridian Air Cargo and then to HeavyLift in 1978. Broken up at Southend in October 2008 after plans to put it back in service alongside sister-ship RP-C8020 (ex G-HLFT) down-under fell through.
