Built in 1940 by Hawker Aircraft Ltd. at Kingston-on-Thames, Z2389 served with five different RAF Squadrons in 1941, including the American volunteer 71 'Eagle' Squadron at Martlesham Heath. As part of emergency war supplies for Russia, Z2389 was crated up and joined the 767 Regiment of the Red Air Force on the Kola Peninsula. On the 20th of June 1942, it was shot down. Z2389's pilot F/Lt Ivan Kalashnikov survived the forced landing. Fifty years later, Z2389 was found, and its remains arrived at Brooklands on the 14th October. Restoration took from 1999 to 2019 - now with Squadron code XR-J.
