Looking more like an MR.2, this is a tricycle-undercarriage MR.3/3 sitting on its tail at the Manston Central Training Establishment fire school. First flying in August 1958, it was initially used for trials and underwent A&AEE acceptance testing in 1962 before service with 206 and 201 Sqdns. In 1965/6 it underwent Phase III modifications with the addition of Viper turbojets in the outer nacelles, next going to the Kinloss Wing and back to the A&AEE. It was finally despatched to meet its fate at Manston in August 1971

First flying in November 1952, this MR.2 operated with 240, 204, 37 and 210 Sqdns before a spell with the A&AEE for altimeter trials. Stored by 5MU Kemble from April 1972 as seen here, it did get to see a further lease of life when issued to 8 Sqdn as a trainer for their AEW.2s in March 1974. Finally struck off in October 1977, it hung on as a gate guard at Lossiemouth but was scrapped in 1991
