Used as an instructional/display airframe from 1955 (allocated maintenance serial 7207M) , initially at Wymeswold and at Syerston from 1957 to 1967 when it moved to Henlow for storage. Used for non flying scenes in the Battle of Britain film in 1968 and remained at Henlow until 1972 when exported to Australia. Went through various owners whilst in Australia before being restored to fly as VH-XVI in October 1988. Sold in the US in 1998 and has remained stored and unflown at San Martin CA. for many years.
