HP Hastings and where did they go?

Hi all,
With all the knowledge on this board about scrapyards and scrapping sites, does anyone of you know where are the HP Hastings were scrapped in the sixties and seventies? And are there still remains to be found?

Cheers

I know of one… Hastings C Mk.1 TG500 was used as a training aid at Bicester (where the prototype Halifax first flew as I’m sure you are more than aware).

She was used for salvage training and I have a source with her being on site 25 Oct ’72. She was noted on the dump in 1975 and scrapped sometime after that.

Hope that is of some help.
