This Storch was built at Choceň, Czechoslovakia in 1944. It was captured at Flensburg in 1945 and flown to Britain for evaluation and, later, use in support of test work at the RAE. It was retired from flying in 1955 and allocated to the Air Historical Branch collection in late 1956. It was properly restored in the 1970s and early 1980s while part of the historic collection at St Athan. It was moved to Cosford in 1989 and has been preserved there ever since.
