<p>This Wildcat was recently donated to the Shuttleworth Collection for eventual return to flying condition. While it doesn't seem an obvious choice for the collection, it will nicely complement the Spitfire and particularly the Sea Hurricane, as the Royal Navy used many Wildcats in WW2 under the name Martlet.
It will, however, have to wait it's turn through the workshop which is currently busy rebuilding the collection's Spitfire.
US Navy bureau No 86690.
Previous civil registration 'N49JC'.
c/n 5744.
On display in Hanger 6 at Old Warden, on the day of the 2013 Autumn Airshow.
