After WWII, the Czechoslovak Security Air Force of the National Security Corps used Ae-45 adapted for patrol and liaison duties. Only the tail of the real OK-BYE (cn 50076) has survived but has proved a valuable colour reference, along with photographic evidence for the restoration of OK-EGN in its place The finished aircraft is now on display in a brand new hangar at the super Kbely museum.
