Seen in open storage at Ardmore with the registration ZK-EPG almost faded away en the former New Zealand Air Force serial NZ5911 visible again. At the end of 2017 the aircraft was dissasembled and put on a ship bound for the UK where it arrived on 28 December 2017. The Bristol Freighter is currently under restauration at Bristol Filton by the Aerospace Bristol Museum.

Ex RNZAF NZ5911, ZK-EPG seen here a few months after it was ferried into Ardmore by Dwen Airmotive. The plan was to resell it and seven other Bristols. Some were flown out to new owners but not -EPG, which lingered at Ardmore until acquired by the Bristol Museum, Filton, in 2017. It will be dismantled and shipped back to the UK.
