Yes, for a long time it was stored and worked on in a hangar at Yeovilton. I last saw it some years back when I flew from there in a piston Provost that was kept in the same hangar. I believe the Pup moved to a non-airfield site later.

…”The local project?”

Western Daily Press has it as B1807 (G-EAVX?).
