After purchasing the remnants of the aircraft from a private owner, the parts arrived at the museum in September 2004. The aircraft is one of only 12 examples that have survived and the intention is to restore it. At the time of the upload, the museum website still gives the progress of the restoration as 'in the very early stages'.
