First flying in November 1952, this MR.2 operated with 240, 204, 37 and 210 Sqdns before a spell with the A&AEE for altimeter trials. Stored by 5MU Kemble from April 1972 as seen here, it did get to see a further lease of life when issued to 8 Sqdn as a trainer for their AEW.2s in March 1974. Finally struck off in October 1977, it hung on as a gate guard at Lossiemouth but was scrapped in 1991
