On display in the Malta Aviation Museum at the former RAF base of Ta' Qali. This aircraft served in the Mediterranean throughout its operational life and it has quite a pedigree. It was the personal machine of Wing Commander Ronald Berry DFC, whose code R-B it bears. It was also flown by Sqn Leader Colin F Gray (81 Sqn), one of the top RAF aces of WWII. It is known to have 6 kills to its credit, although this does not include a crucial period in early 1943 for which records have not been found. Information kindly provided by the Museum.
