This Staggerwing was registered new as NC18028 on 28 June 1937. Remaining in civil hands throughout the Second World War, it was re-registered N18028 in 1949 following changes to the US registration system. Badly damaged in an accident in November 1959, the aircraft changed hands several times until restored, with a new CofA issued on 16 May 1986 though painted with its original registration 'NC18028'. Acquired by Paul McConnell in 1990 and delivered by air to the UK, where it resided until 2023 when it was shipped to Australia.
