I can understand disposing of uncompleted aircraft, but one that was intact and flying should have been mothballed somewhere in a museum.
I'm not suggesting that it should be kept operational (I presume that it was never handed over to the RAF) but FFS it's a treasure!

Evening Chris, are they being flown to Woodford for scrapping there, or are they going to do it at Warton ?

517 has already been cut up,516 and 518 are still parked on the flight ramp at woodford.I would imagine they'll cut 514 up at warton.

I believe two more have been taken outside for scrapping, I only know that 520 was one of them.
