First flown in February 1953 as an MR.2, this Shack served 269, 204, 42, 210 Sqdns before conversion to AEW.2 in early 1971. After its time with 8 Sqdn, it was sold to a Cypriot at auction for £45,000 along with WL757 in 1991. Both are still derelict at Paphos Airport This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
