Tha B25 flew for a short time in Aust, then went to the AWM. It was sold by auction some years later - I understand it was the wrong model B25 and therefore was not as appropriate for the collection as it should have been, (and took up a lot of room which could be occupied by more appropriate items). The buyer(s) were in the USA and it was exported there, but was damaged during handling while being transferred from the ship to the dock. Don't know what happened to it after that.
It was before my time at the AWM, but I do remember seeing it both flying at Ballarat (when we were all treated to some magnificent flying of the Hawker Sea Fury), then later in storage at Mitchell.
