| Description |
c/n 1899. Although in accurate Belgian Air Force markings, this rare Fairey Battle has no actual Belgian history. It was built as a standard Mk.I for the RAF with the serial ‘R3950’. In 1941 it was transferred to the RCAF with the serial ‘1899’ and was converted to a TT.I target tug. Retired in 1945, it was sold off and remained unrestored until changing owner in 1970. In 1972 it moved to the Strathallan Aircraft Collection in Scotland where the restoration to airworthy condition continued. In 1987 it was sold to Charles Church but moved to the IWM at Duxford for temporary static display. In 1990 it was delivered to Brussels in a Belgian Air Force C-130 and has since been on display, still under restoration, at what is known as the Brussels Air Museum, although it is actually the Air and Space Section of the Royal Museum of the Armed Forces and Military History.
