Thanks. Thought it looked too far gone to be economically repairable.

Returned to Exeter airport. Broken up for parts. Wings to scrap, rear fuselage to Bruntinthorpe for spares recovery, front half (inc’ cockpit) moved to St.Athan along with the Gannet et al in the recent move. Awaiting spares recovery…..
