Built in 1938 and later transferred to 263 Sqn of the RAF, where it was given it's HE-G code. After the German invasion in April 1940, it was one of 18 aircraft that was transferred to Norway on the carrier HMS Glorious. The RAF parked their aircraft in the slush on the ice, disregarding advice from the local Norwegian liaison officer. The aircraft were unattended and they froze into the ice during the night. When the Heinkels arrived in the morning, they were sitting ducks and most of them were destroyed, except for this example, that was later restored.

On 9 June 1938, this Gloster Gladiator was delivered to the Swedish Air Force. It was dubbed J8 in the Swedish Air Force. It had different markings over the course of its career and served in the Finnish Winter War in 1939-1940, the reason why it has been painted with these Finnish markings today.

This was the last production Gladiator I built in 1937 but not actually assembled as L8032 until 1938. It became G-AMRK around the early-1950s and went on to wear 72 Sqn markings with the fictitious serial K8032. In 1990 the plane was painted into a 247 Sqn camouflage scheme, which remained until the fabric had to be replaced in 1996 and it then acquired Norwegian colours for filming. In 2007, it was given the 73 Sqn colour scheme of K7985.

The Swedish Air Command ordered 55 Gloster Gladiators, which were designated J 8 and assigned to F 8 Barkarby that was defending Stockholm. When the Soviet Union attacked Finland in 1939, the Swedish volunteer flotilla F 19 was established with twelve J 8s and these were used in the Finnish Winter War with Finnish nationality markings. The Flygvapenmuseum's J 8 was flown back to Sweden after a few months in Finland and SOC in 1945 and so is one of the few Swedish aircraft that has seen combat.
