Dismantled components of XK625 "12" (ex-8FTS) and XD527 "46", ex-Aviation Traders who had contemplated the conversion of Vampire T.11s into an executive jet. XK625 was subsequently reassembled and put on display with the HAM (Southend). It passed to North Weald in November 1983 following the closure of the museum. Subsequently to the Romney Marsh Wartime Collection, Kent. XD527 passed to the fire dump at Manston where it was reduced to a pod only by March 1986 and totally burned out by November 1987.
