 This aircraft was originally built for the RAF as Seaford 1 NJ203, but was not finished and instead converted to a Solent 3 as G-AKNP. She later became VH-TOB, operated by Tasman Empire Airways in Australia as a 42 seat day passenger aircraft before transferring to the USA. She now resides at the Western Aerospace Museum, Oakland, California.
