Summary

[edit]
Description

Built 1940 and operated for 225sqn based at RAF Tilshead. Modified as a target tug in September 1941 it flew with training units until joining 161 (Special Duties) sqn based at RAF Tempsford, Bedfordshire. It was then used for ferry and communication work. By 1945 it had been allocated to the AHB (Air Historical Branch) for preservation. It was dismantled and stored, making only occasional public appearances. Having moved to Henlow in 1967, it was then repainted in genuine 225sqn markings as ‘LX-L’. In 1971 it moved to Hendon and went on display in the main hall. In 1978 it moved to the Battle of Britain Hall where it remains today. RAF Museum, Hendon, London, UK.
