Built in 1944 this aircraft is painted to represent JV928 Y. The aircraft crashed on 27th July, 1998 on Southampton Water with the loss of two lives. The aircraft was under rebuild in the UK until attempts were abandoned by 2005. It was transported to Weston in Ireland on 19/20 January 2006 for continued restoration, but it was eventually broken up there on 27 June 2012.
