Summary

[edit]
Description

Built 1937. Had a variety of uses during WW2 including trials work at Boscombe Down and film work at Rednal, followed by a time with 61OTU. Also flying with 61OTU at this time were Gladiators ‘L8032’ and ‘N5903’ which are now airworthy with The Shuttleworth Collection and The Fighter Collection respectively! Post war it was used for static exhibition work between periods of storage. It was repainted in 1968 in to the pre-war markings of 87sqn, based at Debden in 1938, the colours it retains today. On display at Hendon since 1971, it moved to it’s current location in the Battle of Britain Hall in 1978. RAF Museum, Hendon, London, UK.
