This 1988 Albatros was delivered to the Ukraine Air Force and operated as 'Yellow 51'. In 2006 it was acquired by Kim Rolph-Smithh's Warbird Aviation Australia at Archerfield and was registered VH-VRO on 29 November that year.

It was shipped to NZ and reassembled at Ohakea, making its first flight there in Jan 1973. In June 1993 it was sold in Australia and shipped to Bankstown. It was stored for some years before being restored, and currently operates on warbird adventure flights out of Port Macquarie.
