The Stansted Carvair assembly line was shut down in 1967. Three Southend-built unused nose sections remained there along with unsold Carvair no. 17 LX-IOF (which subsequently became G-AXAI). The three nose sections were brought back to Southend where one was used in the conversion of C-54E VH-INM as Carvair no. 21, the final one built. The subject of this photo is nose section no. 22 or 23 on the dump at Southend over 4 years later.
