Photo Comment

Built in 1942/3 with USAAF serial 41-33908. Allocated RAF serial EX935 but there is no record of it receiving this serial. Shipped straight to South Africa in Dec 1943 where it received the serial 7504 with the South African Air Force. Sold to the Portuguese Air Force in Oct 1969 as 1508. It came onto the UK civil register on 28 Mar 1979 as G-BGOR. Now repainted carrying its original USAAF serial. It probably never wore it as it went straight to the South African Air Force.
