100 Super Sabres were supplied to France under the US Military Air Program. When they were replaced by the Jaguar, the survivors were mostly returned to the USAF and most of those via 7519 Combat Support Squadron at Sculthorpe where they were either scrapped or passed on to UK museums or other USAF bases. The first aircraft arrived in November 1975. They were delivered by EC 70 whose "MA" to "MZ" codes they generally wore although retaining the '11' prefix of EC 1/11 or 2/11 and, in this case, also the insignia of that unit. 42165 passed to the IWM at Duxford on 17th May 1976. Current in 2025.

This Bolingbroke "project" has been at Duxford for many years and donated some parts for the rebuild of the flying Bolingbroke (representing a Blenheim I) based at Duxford. Since a fuselage with faded original "9893" markings was delivered to the Kent Battle of Britain Museum in 2017, it is likely that the fuselage sections and wings at Duxford will go to make up something of a composite airframe when assembled.
