Aerialvisuals has got most of the details correct but not all, as there seems to have been some confusion about the aircraft having gone to Albany, NY but it was only ever shipped to Oregon.

XR442/G-HRON was stored at Staverton, UK Departed to Albany OR by sea 20/01/2006. Later stored at a private residence at Kizer Ave NE, Albany OR where it was noted until 04/2019 when it was moved to the present location outside a restaurant on Highway 97 opposite the airfield at Chiloquin. The reason it isn't visible on streetview at the current location, is that the latest view is dated 06/2018
