| Last serving with the RNAS at Lossiemouth, 288 ended up in 1988 with Doug Arnold's Warbirds at Duxford where she was restored to airworthyness and registered as G-SALY. Shipped to Chino in 1991 and registered with the FAA as N15S, she now flies under her original RNAS reg. | |

| WJ288 was registered as G-SALY (named after his wife, Sally) by Patrick Luscombe of the British Air Reserve, the owner prior to Duxford. | |
