WP515 was part of a batch of three replacement aircraft. Note the new shelters being built.

Stationed at RAF Wyton. Delivered in 1953. Scrapped at Wyton in 1992.

Built in 1953 and assigned initially to 115 Sqdn at Marham but went on to spend much of its life as a test airframe with the Royal Navy, A & AEE and Martin Baker. Converted to a U.14 pilotless drone in 1961 and operated as such for a short time by 728B Sqdn from Hal Far, Malta. After return to the UK and a period of storage, re-converted to a B.2, joined the A&AEE Bomber & Maritime Test Squadron and was later used for ejector seat trials. Transferred to Martin Baker at Chalgrove in 1985, returned to Boscombe down in 1988 and scrapped in 1990. The cockpit survives with the museum at Old Sarum.

Delivered 19 January 1954. To St.Athan for storage 21 January 1971, declared non-effective 31 July 1972. To Manston Fire School 21 March 1975 and ended its days there.
