After the German invasion in April 1940, it was one of 18 aircraft that was transferred to Norway on the carrier HMS Glorious. The RAF parked their aircraft in the slush on the ice and disregarding advice from the local Norwegian liaison officer. The aircraft were unattended and they froze into the ice during the night.

The restoration process began in 1980.
