Hello Scott.
I am confusing the two I think. Is this the one that is still not on it’s gear to date?

How’s the restoration going scott? Is there a website where we can see your progress?

Hi Peter
It was indeed XP706 at Stubby it then moved to Hemswell and when i bought 706 it was moved to Doncaster.

This was xp706 two years ago at Aeroventure. Have been back a couple of times but the museum was closed – got the wrong opening times!

Maybe this one?
‘F.3 XP706 at Doncaster, September 2003; Scott Clayton
Looking somewhat forlorn is XP706, which had her wings and tail removed for transport away from Binbrook and spent some years at the Strubby airfield, tucked away in a hangar. Unfortunately little progress was made on restoring the aircraft to complete condition and early in 1999 XP706 moved out of the hangar and up the road to Hemswell. Again she appeared to be stuck in limbo there, and recently she’s changed hands again, new owner Scott Clayton having moved her to Aeroventure at Doncaster. Let’s hope some progress is made this time round – apparently he plans to ground run her! Information current as of 15/09/2003.’
