7755M (WG760) arrived at Henlow from 4 SoTT at St Athan in November 1966 and was displayed, wearing the colours of the AFDS (Air Fighting Development Squadron), outside the Officer Cadet Training Unit for several years along with the other P.1A, WG763. Both were relocated in the early 1980s to protect them from further weather related deterioration. WG760 moved to Binbrook in July 1982 for restoration before moving to the Aerospace Museum at RAF Cosford. This photo was added on 29 September 2025, and has since been viewed 30 times. |
