When found in 1965 this Oxford was parked on its inflated tyres on the farm in surprisingly good condition. Both wings outer of the engines were stacked nearby, also in good condition. Mr. Fuss had kept it inside a barn until several years earlier.
 

Moorabbin Air Museum negotiated with Mr. Fuss to acquire HN412, but by the time they arrived with their truck a year later in 1968, local vandals had wrecked the aircraft in the preceding months. The Moorabbin team was forced to just salvage engines and parts.


In the 1970s John Boden, Adelaide and his son John visited Mr. Fuss, and located airframe components from both his Oxfords AS378 & HN412 scattered around the farm. They collected a number of parts and purchased Cheetah engine spares from him.  Later the Bodens donated these Oxford parts to the B-24 Liberator Restoration Fund, who were restoring an Oxford hulk in their hangar at Werribee Vic
