This aircraft came to Australia in the 1990 London-Sydney World Vintage Air Rally. It's presently owned by my good friends Colin and Jenny at Wentworth, NSW, and I had the very great pleasure of flying in it from Hughenden to Charters Towers whilst touring with the Airshows in the Outback in 2001.

Allocated to ARDU for test-flying, then squadron service with various units including 76 Squadron's Black Panthers aerobatic team. Converted to Mk 31 status with '6-3' fixed leading edge wing. Retired in December 1966 & scheduled to be converted to components, but rescued and displayed at the Mildura Warbirds Museum for many years. Donated to Bankstown Aviation Museum 1999 & passed on to HARS 2006
