From various editions of Wrecks and Relics I find these tidbits of info:-
Vulcan XL386 was removed from Manston during August 1993, in a well deceased state, apparently, by Hanningfield Metals of Stock. It had flown in 26/8/82 from 101Sqn.
Last Shackleton was WL741, which flew in by 5/81 and apparently perished in 1987.
Meteor F8 โ last was WK803 โ consumed by 3/77 or T7 WF816 โ gone by 1976.
Is the Lightning F1 XG327? (Arr 23/4/77 โ departed the same time as XL386).
Just the ones mentioned in W&R โ if they arenโt the ones involved then maybe the wreckage survived longer than the informants knew!
Hours of fun with these books(!).
Flood.

Anybody with a decent collection of Wrecks and Relics could answer that one, eh Flood? – Nermal
