Yes , originally swapped to Murry Griffiths of Australia , for a replica P-26 that was built by WW Aeronautical Industries , who in turn sold it to Murray . Subsequently diverted to NZ for James Slade who later sold it to Mike Subritsky . Restoration to a/w is well advanced.
From what I remember Dayton were willing to let it go because of the more relevent MkXI they have .....
