Summary
| Description |
This is the sole surviving complete Defiant . It was saved by the AHB (Air Historical Branch) in 1944 and stored until 1958 went it began making static appearances. Repainted in to a night-fighter scheme in 1967. Went on display at Hendon when the museum opened in 1972 and moved to the Battle of Britain Hall in 1978 and was there until removed for restoration in 2009. The restoration was carried out to an extremely high standard by MAPS (Medway Aircraft Preservation Society) and the aircraft returned to Hendon in early 2013, now in an accurate and genuine 307 (Polish)sqn colour scheme. This aircraft served with 307sqn as both a day fighter and a night fighter and remains on display in the Battle of Britain Hall. RAF Museum, Hendon, London, UK. 22-3-2015 |
