This aircraft was operated by the Empire Test Pilots School. It is seen here receiving attention at Field Aircraft Services. Whilst I visited regularly it was rare for me to be allowed to take photos in the hangar. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair at RAE West Freugh on 1st October 1984

Just over the road from the RNZAF base at Woodbourne, this immaculately displayed machine is preserved by The Argosy Trust outside a cafe, recalling the period when it often operated from the airfield. Originally G-ASXN with BEA, it later went to Transair in Canada and then to NZ in 1974. A careful study of Google Earth back home had established that I'd get the best sun angle in the morning, but it was cloudy then. Note plastic owl bird scarer on the wing!
