WH558 was built in 1952 and delivered to Royal Australian Navy at Bankstown in September of that year. After 10 years of service use, she was modified as target tug and placed on the civil register as VH-BOU. By 1972, the aircraft was eventually dismantled and shipped to a new owner in Santa Roso, California registered N588. She was flown, displayed and raced as '16 "Baby Gorilla" at Reno and other events throughout the USA until a move to Galveston in the late 1990's. From here, WH588 was transported back to the UK, reassembled and based at Sywell, Northamptonshire as G-EEMV. Tragically, the aircraft was destroyed in a fatal landing accident in 2001, and the wreckage has since gone into long-term restoration in Sweden.
