On the fire dump as A2616 and previously used by the School of Aircraft Handing at Culdrose as SAH-11. The well charred fuselage of Gannet AS1 XA363/A2528 lies alongside. (The extremely well charred cockpit section in front of XN651 is all that remained of DH.110 XF828, at one time used by the School of Aircraft Handling as A2500. It was then used for fire practice until it finally expired in 1978. A sad end for an aircraft that really should have gone to the FAA museum or the RAF Museum at Cosford.)
