From what little I can recall from those far-off days, HB bought it, as one of the Directors was high-up in Hull Aero Club. The plan was to turn the airframe into a clubhouse, with the cockpit as the air/ground radio station.

Instead, it provided the local ATC Sqn cadets – myself included – with a heaven-sent opportunity to clamber around a proper aeroplane. The pax seats ended up at East Park drill hall in the Cadets NCO’s Mess, and a fusebox cover was swapped-out with a cracked one from ‘our’ Auster.
