This aircraft is a genuine Great War survivor. A late-production aircraft, nothing is known of its operational history. Collected after the war a 2 Aircraft Salvage Depot, Fienvillers, France, it was shipped to the UK in 1919 for onwards transport to Australia. Joined the AWM collection and displayed in Melbourne and Sydney before moving to the new AWM Canberra in 1941 for permanent display. Restored 1968-74 and underwent extensive conservation in 2007-8.
