Note the extra crew station on the left hand side making this Comet the only example built with a four man cockpit. XS325 was essentially a spooks plane and in service required this extra crew member. From August 2000 to March 2008 it was civil registered as G-CPDA.

The finished (apart from some clocks) cockpit section looks truly magnificent and a testament to all those volunteer man-hours necessary to bring it back to such a pristine condition. Note the reg. plate (XA-NAR) visible in the centre of the control panel. This aircraft never actually flew with BOAC, rather will eventually be displayed in its true Mexicana markings at the Museum of Flight at BFI.

Built as G-ARBB. Served Mexicana as XA-NAT. Stored in a densely packed area of the airport. Withdrawn from use in Dec 1970 and sold to Westernair in Apr 1973. Registered as N777WA a year later, but this reg was never applied to the aircraft. It was ultimately dismantled at Mexico City in the 1980s and trucked to the Parque Hidalgo de Irapuato in Irapuato. This became the Parque Zoológico Irapuato in Apr 1993, and the aircraft was displayed there until it was eventually broken up in March 2015.
