The aircraft was withdrawn from RAF service in 1989 and placed in storage, moving in 1991 to RAF Halton for use as an engineering instructional airframe and allocated the maintenance serial no. 9033M. One of a number of airframes declared surplus and put out for disposal in the early 1990s when the SoTT moved to RAF Cosford, it was sold to Phoenix Aviation at Bruntingthorpe in 1995 and broken up there the following year. However the cockpit section was saved and has since passed through the hands of a number of collectors, and was last reported, May 2023, with a private owner in Cheshire.

Delivered to the RAF on 11th November 1963. It later became 9033M at RAF Halton as a ground instruction airframe
