Pembrokes

I just wondered how many Percival Pembrokes/ Sea princes have survived? I recall seeing a lovely one at Duxford abut 15 years ago.

re:

G-BXES/XL954 has indeed arrived at Weston but I haven’t heard any report of the other aircraft mentioned (XL929) appearing in Ireland yet. It was dismantled in 2002 to serve as a source of parts in any case.

No doubt she will take her turn and join the other via a lorry?

There was a Pembroke and two Sea Princes at the Gatwick Aviation Museum. Now, acording to their web site, they have only a Sea prince, WP308. Not sure where the other two went.
