Had been moved to the scrapping area at Southend on 14th August 1972 and would be broken up by early September. The nose section was displayed in the Historic Aircraft Museum at Southend in BMA colours. After the museum closed in 1983 it moved to Düsseldorf where it was exhibited for a couple of years on the former observation deck. It later went to Stuttgart and Seifertshofen, and by 2016 it was exhibited in Bad Honnef. It was still there by 2022.
