Reconstructed from the remains of several aircraft lying at Shoeburyness ranges, for display during No.33 Squadrons' standard presentation on 24th April 1958 at Middleton St George. The bulk of the airframe is NV778 although some panels are believed to be from SN217. Displayed as a gate guard from August 1958 and moved to Leeming when Middleton St George closed in 1963. Displayed at the RAF Museum Hendon as NV778 at time of upload.
