Last flew on 15 October 1951 when the aircraft was delivered to 29 MU at High Ercall, Shropshire. Allocated maintenance serial 7243M in August 1955 and displayed as a gate guard at RAF Ouston from September 1955 until mid 1970. Underwent some basic restoration at Leconfield and Kemble before being moved to East Fortune in February 1971 for the fledgling Museum of Flight. On display there since the museum opened its doors in July 1975. This photo was added on 7 October 2025, and has since been viewed 43 times. |
