At Duxford for the filming of Memphis Belle. It is being repaired after a cylinder blew on the No.1 engine on its first filming sortie two days earlier. Delivered to the USAAF as 44-8846 in 1945. To the Institut Geographique National as F-BGSP in 1954 and used for survey work. Reconfigured as a warbird and reregistered as F-AZDX in 1985. Retired from flying as the crew had become too old to fly it and preserved at La Ferte Alais in 2010
