A founder member of the RAF Museum when it opened in September 1972 and seen here just over a year later. The aircraft was bombed by the Luftwaffe on April 24, 1940 on Lesjaskogsvatn in Norway, a frozen lake where it and others had landed. The fuselage was recovered in August 1970. Current in 2022.
