WB518 was with the Royal Australian Navy from 1950 - 1965 after which it was stored at Bankstown, NSW, later placed with the Services League, Griffith, NSW where it was displayed on a pole during 1967 - 1991. A restoration was begun using parts from another aircraft, but the project was sold to the USA partially completed. First flying again in 2002, the aircraft colors represent WB377 which was loaned to 817 Squadron aboard HMAS Sydney by the Royal Navy for duty in Korea. A landing accident in 2012 put the warbird out of action until another rebuild was completed in 2019.
