Originally delivered new to the RAF’s No 610 Squadron in late May, 1942, this aircraft was passed on to the USAAF’s newly-formed 31st FG in mid July. In early September, it was transferred to No 71 "Eagle" Squadron, which duly became the 334th FS as part of the newly-formed 4th FG at month-end. Deemed surplus to requirements by the Eighth Air Force in March, 1943, following the arrival of P-47Cs in-theatre, the fighter returned to RAF service with Nos 66 and 340 Sqns. Damaged in combat on December 7, 1943, the fighter was relegated to training duties following its repair and was finally written off in a forced-landing following engine failure on May 2, 1945, while serving with No 57 Operational Training Unit.
