buccaneer XW432?

I am not sure if that is the correct serial number but does anyone know what happened to the last Bucc off of the assembly line? I presume she was scrapped…?

So then what is the youngest Bucc that still exsists ?

Would it be one of the 3 flyer’s at Tunder City ?

It must be XX901 in the Yorkshire Air Museum at Elvington, as those in South Africa are XW9** serials.

Indeed Peter, she was scrapped at Elgin in October 1992.
