Don’t forget the Historic Aircraft Preservation Society (Biggin Hill) who actually got her back to the UK, and then Reflectaire at Lavenham, Hullavington and Blackpool.

There was a reunion recently at East Kirby of people involved in the aircraft early life in the UK as a preserved airframe.

The registration G-ASXX in the (hidden) photo title would belong to NX611 “Just Jane”. Would she have toured Australia at some time in the past? All the stickers on the nose would seem to indicate that.
