"N1854", the first production Fulmar, was later modified to Mk II standard and re-designated "G-AIBE", after which it was used as Fairey's hack for some time. During June 1959, it reverted to service markings and was seen at Farnborough at the SBAC show on 8 September 1962; "G-AIBE"'s last flight was conducted three months later on 18 December 1962. During 1972, the aircraft was presented to the Fleet Air Arm Museum, Yeovilton, where it has been preserved and is currently on static display.
