Off the production line as 41-35927, P-40E was destined for the Royal Air Force as Kittyhawk IA (ET564) but eventually transferred to Soviet Union with code 1025. Lost during WWII, the aircraft was recovered near Murmansk in 1992 and restored to flying condition (first in the USA using parts from Canada and finally finished in New Zealand, flying again in 2001. It was the first aircraft for the Military Aviation Museum and wears the markings of American Volunteer Group (AVG) P-40E 41-5658.
