Anyone know the final disposition of this 'bag. She was flown to Australia after the war by her WW2 pilot, and was in civilian use for a few years...but then seems to vanish!
I'd love to know what happened...in the unlikely hope that she is sat in some outback barn or scrapyard somewhere!

it looks like NR169 was scrapped i'm afraid !!!
