Shipped to the Australian War Memorial in 1946 for display but remained in storage until sold in 1963. Ended with Sid Marshall at Bankstown airport where it was assembled and exhibited in his hangar. After Marshall died, the aircraft was sold in the UK as G-SMIT. It was seized by Australian Customs after it was found not to have an export permit. The Bf109 went back into storage until 1987 when the Australian War Memorial acquired it (again). Displayed at the memorial from 2003 still wearing its original paintwork.
