Built as an F4 and converted to a T7 in 1959, it joined the Royal Navy in 1968 and acquired the tail of a T8. It was transferred to the Royal Aircraft Establishment Farnborough in August 1972. Following damage sustained in a wheels up landing at Thurleigh in 1984 it was used for ground instruction at RNEC Manadon as A2648 and Yeovilton as A2734 before being sold to Classic Jets at Exeter in 1986 for spares use. After some moving around the UK It was scrapped in 2004, and reduced to a cockpit section. This was moved in January 2018 to RAF Laarbruch Museum, Germany, for preservation.
