Photo Comment

Delivered as G-APRS in Jan 1959 and operated as such by various companies until transferred to the Empire Test Pilots School (ETPS) as XT610 in Mar 1965. Became G-BCWF in Jan 1975 but reverted to G-APRS in Dec 1993, shortly after having been acquired by Air Atlantique. It was flown by them on the warbird circuit until wfu circa 2008. It is seen here stored in ETPS markings, minus outer wings. In July 2018 this Twin Pin was trucked to Mains Farm Camping in Thornhill, Scotland to be converted into a luxury overnight accommodation. It was expected to by ready by the summer of 2019.
