On display at RAF Museum Hendon. This Gladiator was taken on charge in Aug. 1937. It served briefly at Boscombe Down in 1941 to test a pair of additional 0.303 in. guns fitted under the top wing. The aircraft was used as a trainer with No. 5 (P) Advanced Flying Unit in 1942. It was struck off charge in March 1948.
