This aircraft is a Fairey-built, ex-RAAF Beaufighter which was recovered from a farm by the Moorabbin Air Museum in Melbourne, Australia. It was used as a spares source for the Museum's Beaufighter A8-328 before it was sold and ended up at the NMUSAF by a very circuitous route. It is marked as the USAAF Beaufighter flown by Capt. Harold Augspurger, commander of the 415th Night Fighter Squadron, who shot down a He 111 carrying German staff officers in September 1944.
