I think this aircraft was part of the Engineering Officers Training Flight at Cranwell. I remember a vist there many years ago. It was complete and immaculate then.
I remember the guy that showed us round saying that they had done a lot of work, including replacing all the hydraulics, as it was supposed to be going to the RAF Museum.
The tail section was retained, and used to be in one of the workshops at Cranwell.
A real shame it didn’t make it to the museum, as they don’t have a B(1)8 anymore.:(

A quick look at Air Britain reveals WT339 to be a B(I)8 and served with 88, 14, 3 and 16 Sqns and became 8198M on 09/06/72

WT339
She has hung around for more time than a bad smell.

That’s looking sorry for itself! Exiled to the fire dump perhaps? I doubt even the delightful and talented Bex could do anything with that!:D
How long has that been there?
