This hulk was previously an instructional airframe at the Fire Training College, Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucs. It is pictured here being stripped of all parts that may be useful in the future for the based JPs. Once that process has been completed it will be refurbished to look brand new and join one of the open cockpit aircraft around the country. Recycling at it's finest at Bruntingthorpe!

This was one of five wfu CX 744s at Bruntingthorpe during my visit, all facing a rather bleak future. Fortunately, this was parked down at the museum area and the titles had not yet been painted over.

The last time that I saw this plane was in the pouring rain at Fairford. Now it is enjoying the sunshine in the Leicestershire countryside after her retirement. It still carries the 40th anniversary markings.
