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. This photo is copyright © Alastair T. Gardiner, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
