In 1989, an in-depth restoration of the aircraft commenced under the control of No 1 Flying Training School and RAAF Museum staff. After ten years of restoration, the aircraft finally returned to the air in February 1999, as A68-750.

The aircraft continues to fly with the RAAF 100 Sqn, based at Point Cook.
