Delivered to the Army as XM565 in 1959. To Middle Wallop as ground instructional airframe 7861M in 1964. Misidentified as XL738 and painted as such. Loaned for display at RJ Mitchell Hall Southampton in 1984. To Fleetlands Museum by 1989. The museum was in the buildings behind and housed a collection of artifacts accumulated by the curator as well at the Skeeter. It was returned to Middle Wallop by 1992 and then moved location a number of times. In a private collection at Storwood, East Yorkshire by 2022.
