Built at Castle Bromwich in 08.40. Served 66, 609, 266 and 312 Squadrons. Crashed into Loch Doon, Wigtownshire when low flying on 25.10.41 and left on site. Wing sections, engine and other large components recovered by the museum in 1991 and the aircraft has been immaculately recreated wearing 312 (Czech) Squadron markings.
