Kennet SEAFIRE MK.XVII G-KASX SX 336

Air_Britain’s ‘Fleet Air Arm Fixed-Wing Aircraft Since 1946’ shows the following service history for SX336:

“Ready for collection, 30 April 1946; delivered RDU Culham, May 46; AHU Abbotsinch, 21 August 46; tested 22 November 46 – 3 December 46; to GI Class II as A571; At Bramcote as A2055, June 53; AHU Stretton, 27 July 55 (fire fighting practice); sold for scrap to British Aluminium, Latchford Lock, Warrington?; Joseph Brierley & Son scrapyard, Warrington.”

It was at the latter location that Mark 12 came to the rescue.

The aircraft appears to have never been issued to a front-line or reserve squadron.

Well, that’s all the information we could muster. Mark12 did help to sort out the very convoluted relationship with the other Seafires that contributed to this terrific project. It goes without saying that I’m very much looking forward to seeing SX336 take to the skies. An early Seafire F.17 scheme would be very nice!
