Skyraider sold?

I have heard a rumor that the UK Skyraider has been sold.

Any official announcement?

Does anyone know if this has left North Weald now? The most recent photos I can find of it at North Weald are from early 2022 with the outer wings, tailplane and propellor removed.

I assume it is long since departed, but any confirmation would be appreciated.

With the Lim-5/MiG-17 departed, the Skyraider sold and the plug now pulled on the Skymaster project, that’s some of North Weald’s most interesting projects (in my eyes at least) gone – still, there’s Lynx HMA8SRU ZD252, Hunter T8C WV322 & the Gnat F1 (G-SLYR) to hope for success in the future – oh, and a Jaguar?

@kennetaviation: it has indeed been sold. We’ll miss her but she’s going to a good home! You’ll see updates as it happens.

It’s been rumoured for a while and Kennet Aviation confirmed it (publicly) in a comment on my Instagram a few weeks ago.

It’s still registered to Tim Manna on the CAA G-INFO site.

Cheers
