Initially allocated RAF serial AL807, this Boston was one of 22 instead shipped to the Netherlands East Indies Air Force (NEIAF) and overpainted with the markings of the Kon Marine (Dutch Navy), assigned serial 240. In March 1942 with the fall of Java it was diverted while still in transit to the RAAF's 22 Sqdn but crashed on Goodenough Island in the Solomon Sea off New Guinea in September 1943 after bombing Gasmata, occupied by the Japanese forces, on the southern coast of New Britain. The wreck was recovered by an RAAF Chinook and onward shipment to Amberley in 1987 for restoration.
