Back in 2003 there was a 2 seater Fury which used to be on the gate of this air base in Iraq. It was dismantled and was possibly bound for the UK. What happened to this airframe. I cannot find any record of it.
Also at the same time were 4 derelict Chipmunks on the base. Anything happen to them, or were they to far gone.
Any info appreciated . Thanks

I think I heard that it was captured by UK forces, photos about of UK troops stodd in front of it. The plan was to export it but I think it was not cleared by higher authourity and was left in Iraq. Apparently looting of war prizes was frowned upon by higher eschilons.
