Delivered to the Royal Air Force on 25 October 1918 it was then sent to No. 1 Aircraft Acceptance Park, Coventry where it received its name 'Paddy Bird from Ceylon'. 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. Apart from another example in the Musee Royal l'Armee, Brussels, it is only one of two original aircraft.

The winter afternoon light falls on the TSR-2 displayed outdoors at IWM Duxford with its towbar attached. This was the fourth development batch airframe that was partially complete when the program was cancelled. The mission profile called for the highly advanced TSR-2 to fly 200 feet above ground level to deliver tactical nuclear weapons.

Ex FAA WG599 was airlifted by German CH-53 from Uetersen to Duxford in 1995. Since that it started traveling to the US, Australia and back to the US. Ultimate goal is to make it airworthy again.
