This ex-Polish Air Force aircraft was imported into Australia and stored at Bankstown from 1993 to 1995. Registered VH-EKI on 4 April 1995, it made its first post-restoration flight the following year on 17 November 1996. It was operated on warbird adventure flights for some years and damaged on landing at Camden on 28 December 1997. Repaired, it flew on until at least 2005 before being 'retired' to Bathurst, along with sister-ship VH-REH. It certainly looks a bit tattier these days than it used to!
