P3351 was built by Hawker in February or March 1940. It served as aircraft K with 73 Squadron in France in 1940, later as TP-K after withdrawal from France in June 1940. Later it was with 32 Squadron in September 1940 coded GZ- -, 71 Squadron in December 1940 coded XR- – and in May 1941 with 55 OTU. It was converted to a Mark IIa following an accident in January 1942 and shipped to Russia in May 1942. The wreck was recovered in 1992 and the airframe restored by Hawker Restorations in England and the systems installed by Air New Zealand Engineering Services in New Zealand. The post restoration first flight was in January 2000. The aircraft is painted as K of 73 Squadron France 1940. It is still a Mark IIa with the longer nose, deeper radiator/oil cooler and a later Rotol propeller.
