Malcolm Pooke, initially of Montalto acquired it from mid-March of 2008, with a move to Oxford in September 2011.

It was sold to Tony Christiansen of Tauranga in mid-January of 2012 and ferried north by Leon Jacobs.

Tony Christiansen, who was a motivational speaker, had it converted to hand controls and added the 'Check Yr Attitude' script behind the cockpit and 'Challenger 2' on the nose and the large 'Challenger' on the rear fuselage and tail.
It has just been sold to a lucky new owner.
