This Argus was built at Hagerstown as 44-83159 and shipped across the Atlantic aboard the SS Loch Dee, arriving in Port Said in Nov. 1944. It then flew with the RAF as KK502 from Hussein Dey in Algeria until June 1946, when it was flown to US Army Payne Field (now Cairo airport) for disposal. It became F-OAFY with the French in North Africa and then CN-TNV with the Morrocan Royal Aero Club at Tit Meli as a parachute plane. After languishing in a warehouse in Hamburg for many years it is now under restoration to flight by Classic Trainers as many of the type flew in Czechoslovakia post-WWII.
