In the early 60s the fuselage of FAA Martlet JV348 was in the grounds of a Civil Defence training establishment near Portsmouth. I never saw it but have seen published photos of it. IIRC, the airframe disappeared and its final fate was uncertain – some reports claiming it was burnt in 1963. It’s not beyond the bounds of possibility that it was removed, perhaps to a scrappy? This is pure speculation, but you never know!
