The service career of this plane as V1075 ended in November 1940, when it was stored at No.51 MU at Lichfield and finally sold in December 1947. It was then registered G-AKPF and had a mixed career as a flying school aircraft with its logbook suggesting it was damaged and rebuilt a number of times. A post-restoration flight took place in July 1990 but several years of storage followed with the aircraft coming to Old Warden in 2001. Work since carried out has included restoring plane to the correct identity of the fuselage used in a rebuild after a substantial crash in May 1955. This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
