Recovered 1994 for use by RAAF Museum in restoration of A-20s A28-8 and 42-86786. Remains of this aircraft noted in storage at RAAF Amberley, Australia November 2002, for disposal by RAAF Museum now that their two A-20 restorations are complete. Original intention for aircraft to go to RAF Museum, Hendon, England fell through; went to Pima Air & Space Museum, AZ in September 2018."
