Ex ZK-LIX. Originally delivered to the Soviet AF, and then the Chinese AF. Displayed at the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics as '7504' between 1965 and 1996. Acquired by OFMC, arriving at Duxford on 8 May 1996 and registered as G-BWUD on 14 June 1996. Registration cancelled on 11 August 2000 on sale to New Zealand where it was rebuilt to fly, and restored as ZK-LIX. After a short period in the UK in 2003 it returned to New Zealand in January 2004 and based at Wanaka. In 2010 it was sold to Jerry Yagen's Military Aviation Museum in Virginia Beach USA, registered as N415ML.
