Gate guard at the now closed RAF Uxbridge. Used in the Battle of Britain movie in 1968. Subsequently sold off and returned to the air in July 1991 as G-XVIA. Then sold to the USA and registered as N382RW in 1995. Destroyed in 1998 when it flew into a canyon wall in cloud. Bits were then shipped back to the UK and rebuilt as a high back Mk IX with a RR Merlin instead of a Packard Merlin, rounded wingtips instead of clipped and a smaller rounded rudder. Now flying as G-PBIX in USAAF colours coded WZ-RR.
