In use as a "Gate Guard" at the Shuttleworth Collection. Subsequently returned to the air (and later became G-PRXI) and was destroyed a few years later in a crash due to faulty magnetos. Since 2017 again flying as G-PRXI after a long restoration. This photo is copyright © Ian Howat, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
