This Wirraway was the 8th off the production line in 1939 and is the oldest surviving example of the type. Remarkably, it served with the RAAF until 1960 when it was sold back to the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation as a source of spares for the Ceres program. However, it was not used and was sold in 1963 to John Hopton, one of the original members of the Australian Aircraft Restoration Group that operated the Moorabbin Air Museum. The aircraft was restored to original 'as delivered' ground-running condition in 2015-16.
