By Autumn 2000, the aircraft had definitely been repaired,
but its wings were used in the restoration of another Tiger
Moth, and the fuselage was purchased by the Malta Aviation
Museum Foundation with the intent of returning it to flying
condition.
The steel and wood structure of the fuselage/wings and all
the cockpit instrumentation were restored to airworthy
condition. Vintage Fabrics Limited (a UK specialist company)
visited Malta where they completed the fabric covering of the
fuselage. The four wings were then exported to the Vintage
Fabric's workshop in UK for fabric covering. When the wings
were completed they were returned to Malta during the
fourth quarter of 2009.
The aircraft performed its first post-restoration flight in 2010,
flown by Clive Denney. The aircraft still flies on rare occasions
and can be admired at the Malta Aviation Museum at Ta’ Qali,
Malta.
