Initially delivered to United Airlines (NC13340) in 1933, N18E was the oldest Boeing Airliner still flying when pictured at Oshkosh. Wings and Wheels Museum acquired the Boeing 247 in 1977. After the museum closed it's doors in 1981, the aircraft was bought at auction and moved to the UK in 1982 for store / display at the Science Museum's out station in Wroughton.
