Who did the USAFM trade with? Was it the National Aviation Museum in Ottawa? I.e. Did Jeet Mahall recover it for the NAM? Or was the NAM not involved at all? What did the USAFM give up in the trade?

: It was recovered from India in the mid (ish) 1980s after b
: eing put up for tender. As I recall it caused quite a reve

: instructional airframe.
: Anyway, if I remember correctly Jeet Mahall recovered it b
