Arrived at the museum on 9 May 2005 and seen here shortly thereafter, following 37 years of storage at Deception Island, Antarctica. Unfortunately the plans to restore the aircraft, which was on loan from the British Antarctic Survey, never materialised and in January 2012 the aircraft was returned to BAS. It was removed from the museum and transported to a barn at Newhouse Farm, Leaden Roding, UK, reportedly for restoration by Glyn Craig. Very faded "British Antarctic Survey" titles were still visible on the rear fuselage. In the background is the forward fuselage of Comet R.2 XK695 (c/n 06030).
