Its initial history is not clear to me, but apparently stored at Barstow-Daggett (CA) between 1975 and 1980. For sale as a project. Trucked to Tahoe in 1980 for restoration; parts were sourced from 45-49192/N47DD and a wing from South America. the final result was given the ID of 45-49192/N47DD. The frame exchanged owners while still being restored (70% completed by 1984). First flight was in August 1985 as N(X)47DD. Shipped to Duxford in early 1986. Became G-THUN in June 1999. Back to the US as N147PF between July 2006 - February 2018. Back to the UK in February 2018 as N147PF.
