The original idea was hatched over a few pints with the co-owner of XW315, seemed a good idea at the time !
However there is a small band of 7 of us who collectively run ‘Demobbed’ ‘UKSerials’ and ‘Eurodemobbed’ – fortunately we took a right decision at the very start which means we can update all the sites at the same time and have one very large database behind it which feeds all the sites, you see different info depending on which site you look at – we have only one entry to update.
This also keeps the site costs down to a sensible level and so make it a free to use resource. Not really interested in making money off the back of it as we do it for our own enjoyment/interest and that way people are more open to supplying info to us for all to share.Glad you find it informative !
I know Mark, I was only kidding, just saying how popular it is ,and with that popularity, if it was one of them payin porn or dating sites that flood the web,you would have been well off,it was only a bit of a laugh comparison, on the popularity of de-mobbed, because its such a great site, when i get WH887 at least back on its upright again, would be pleased to send a pic for de-mobbed if you so wished 🙂

XW315, for the record served with RAFC Cranwell,3 FTS,CFS coded “83”,3 FTS,CFS. It suffered a fire in the air 5.7.84 and was not repaired . SOC 8.5.86.
Thanks for the history. Believe post it being SOC it was sfs to Birds at Long Marston, but the cockpit ended up stored in a shed in the locality and then emerged at Long Marston Airfield, from where it was obtained by one of its now two owners. Has been in Wolverhampton since this time slowly being restored to health.
If anyone has any leads on any JP5 seats at sensible money I would like to hear from them !

But the main thing is that it’s being looked after. Work tends to get in the way of ‘work’ somewhat doesn’t it?

XW315
The cockpit isn’t stored at the location of the photo any more. It’s owned by a couple of collectors and in good hands.
Picture was taken from its days at Long Marston. Its now stored in the back garden of my co-owner. Its now got a ‘bonnet’ and a canopy, plus a set of instrument panels and some instruments (which are stored in my dining room !)

What a sad sight, even though I’m no great fan of parafin burners no aircraft deserves to be seen in that state.
