On Black Sunday, 16th April 1944, this aircraft was forced-landed behind Japanese lines by Davidson. He and his gunner Sgt John McKenna took two weeks to escape back to safety, and in 1984 the intact aircraft was discovered by Aerothentic's President, Michael John Claringbould.

The aircraft was salvaged by the RAAF in 1984 under Claringbould's guidance, and restored meticulously over the next ten years in Australia in its original authentic colour scheme. It is seen here at Amberley AFB, Queensland, where it is presently on display.

The F on the tail represented the surname of the aircraft's crew-chief, 'Fudgie' Figuerido, whilst the white heart underneath the tailplane represents the insignia for the 388th Squadron. The white stripe across the base of the tail designated the 312th Bombardment Group.
