Lightning XM991

Can anyone tell me what happened to this aircraft please? I have that it was broken up in 1975 and the cockpit used for BDR training at Gutersloch.

XM 991 Lit T4, 19 Sqn ‘T’

All I have is that it was allocated GI no: 8456M and scrapped Oct 1975. Have found the following on the UK Military Aircraft Losses site:

Damaged beyond repair in a ground fire at Gutersloh, West Germany. Allocated to ground instruction at Gutersloh as 8456M. Destroyed by fire during June 1975.
