Ours is one with pedigree and her number is ZA176 based at newark and looking almost live, though she still has loads internally outstanding. She landed on the alraigo as an FRS1 while on CAP looking for the french carrier Foch and being flown by Sub lieutenant ian Watson. He did one of the rarest things ever done by saving 176 from a watery grave by landing on the aforementioned ship in the bay of biscay after a NAVHARS failure though his original idea was to bang out next to the ship and be picked up but he elected to land on it instead. I and the museum are proud to have her in our collection, though I still like your model its a cracker :clap: :thumbs:
