This Widgeon was delivered in 1941 as NC28679. It had a varied career with the USAAF (as 42-38217) and in Africa, lastly as N3103Q, until withdrawn from use in the mid 1970s and stored at Malta. It was bought by Lawrence Usher in 1987 and restored at Ipswich, UK. He registered it as G-DUCK on 15 Nov 1988. In 1992 the aircraft was shipped to the Musée de l'Hydraviation and later placed on display, painted as seen here. The Widgeon has its original registration NC28679 painted at the top of the tail. This is a composite airframe, with the wings, engines and props probably coming from Super Widgeon N750M c/n 1341.
