This Sea Prince was delivered to the FAA in 1953 and served all over the UK from Culdrose to Lossiemouth to Belfast and as far afield as Malta. In 1977 she was placed in storage and has been part of the Fleet Air Arm's Museum Reserve Collection since 1980. I believe (but stand to be corrected) that the aircraft pieces in the foreground are part of the museum's ongoing Barracuda restoration. This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
