<p>c/n B.5292.
Delivered in September 1916, the full war history of this Pup was remarkably recorded with details of almost every flight until August 1917 being known.
For details, visit the aircraft's individual history page on the RAF Museum website (written by Andrew Simpson).
Declared surplus in February 1918, it was stored in France by the Musee de l'air from 1918 until 1959 when Desmond St Cyrien managed to negotiate it's removal to the UK for rebuild.
It finally flew again at Fairoaks in 1973, piloted by British Aerobatic champion and reknown display pilot Neil Williams.
After various appearances totalling just under 11 hours flying time, it was withdrawn from use and then, in 1980, it was sold to Doug Arnold.
Swapped for Spitfire XVI 'RW386' (now airworthy in Sweden), the Pup moved directly to Hendon in 1982 where it remained on display until moving to Cosford in 2014. 
It is currently on display in the ‘War in the Air’ hangar.
