Ex VZ728, G-AGOS. Built in 1945 as the RS3 three-seat trainer, and later rebuilt as an experimental prone-pilot aircraft redesignated as the RS4 Bobsleigh. Withdrawn from use in 1973, the registration was cancelled on 9 November 1981. After a long period of preservation it was restored as G-AGOS on 14 July 2015 and returned to flying condition at Spanhoe by Windmill Aviation for owners Leicestershire County Council. It has since moved to Newark Air Museum for long term preservation as a static exhibit, making its final flight on delivery to Newark on 19 August 2022.
