Wattisham now have XT914 and have no room for another Phantom.
It’s gotta be going to Everett’s.

Wattisham Station Museum viewed the aircraft at Manston and a survey was done on it by the RAF for them. The RAF indicated it wasn’t a good option due to corrosion.
It isn’t heading to Wattisham.

I know the Wattisham Station museum were keen to get their hands on this jet.

Both of the Manston ‘J’s were flown in and I guess demand for the J-79 had gone so it was deemed not worth the effort in removing them. The aircraft is quite crusty so it might have been bought for a spares source.

I hope so. She’s in a bit of a state already but better saved late than never.
ZE360 “O”, previously 155574 with the US Navy, has still got her engines and seats in, which is unusual. A few less bits to find for whoever the lucky recipient is. Would it be Mr. Everett by any chance?
I look forward to updates on this one.
