Sold to Mark Hurd Mapping Company in 1952 and re-registered as N505MH. Bought in 1967 by
Harrahs Club for display in Reno, NV. Bought in 1985 by David Tallichet and restored to flying
status. Bought in 1988 by Doug Arnold and flown to England. Bought by Evergreen in 1990 and
restored, the civil registration N38EV being assigned. N38EV not listed by FAA and probably used
for display purposes only. Now on display at Evergreen Vintage Aircraft at McMinnville, OR. Also
was allocated the registration G-MURU, but may never have been worn. G-MURU not listed by UK CAA.

This has now been acquired by the Collins Foundation , not sure if it has moved from McMinnville , OR yet though .
