Constructed in in 1943 with USAAF serial 43-14885 but transferred to the RAF as HB612. Under the terms of lend-lease the aircraft was returned to the USAAF post-war but it appears to have remained in the UK. It was registered as G-AJSN on 8 May, 1947 to the West London Aero Club and was bought by Hon. Benjamin Bathurst (an ex-RAF pilot) on 13 May 1948. It was sold to another owner in March, 1967, but its flying career apparently ended when it suffered a ground loop at Cork on 10 June, 1967. As can be seen here, the aircraft has now been beautifully restored by the Ulster Aviation Society.
