One of 3 gate guardians at Middle Wallop at the time. Really WZ724. Damaged in 1957 and allocated maintenance serial 7432M (although painted as 7431M). To the gate at Middle Wallop 1968 painted as "WZ670", which had been written off in Kuala Lumpur in 1957. Repainted as WZ724 in 1983. Continued on display until 2017. Restoration was underway off-site in 2018 which included the fitting of another fuselage frame, possibly the original from XP254.
