Its serial number is PT879 you may find the history in IWM, Hendon, it was recorded as going to Murmansk aboard SS256 on the 29th June 1944. This aircraft has a creditable wartime history and would be the basis of a truly unique project with the end result being that the aircraft could legitimately carry Russian stars. Part of the Russian star can be seen on the port side of the fuselage, these were applied over the top of the UK markings.
