Dispatched to France, arriving on 11 November 1918. As hostilities had just ceased it was sent back, still crated, and went into store at RAF Tadcaster. It was later transferred to RAF Cardington, from where it was retrieved in 1935 and sent to the Imperial War Museum where it stayed until 1974 and then transferred to Duxford.

Started out as a fuselage frame built from new wood and original fittings from three aircraft and displayed in 1972 in the newly opened museum. In early 1983 construction of a complete replica commenced. A replica Renault engine was constructed at RAF Cardington Restoration Centre with an original propeller acquired from a garage in Weston-super-Mare. Final fabric covering and rigging completed at Cardington in 1990-91. Delivered to Hendon in 1992 and installed in the Bomber Hall. Moved to the Grahame White Hangar in April 2012.

This flying replica was built in the 1980s, for use in the film 'High Road to China'. Originally, it was planned to build six, but in the end only two static versions and two airworthy aircraft were completed. This is the second flight model built - the first is on display at Valle, AZ.
