I am sure it flew a couple of test flights in the Uk before going to South Africa but a M8 of mineinsist’s in never flew here after leaving the RAF.

Anyone wanna prove me right :p

You could also debate on when did XW987 ever serve the RAF???

987, as stringbag says, did make a few flights, one from Boscombe to St’s and a further 2 test flights out of St’s.

Thanks for that

Yes it was ferried from Boscombe Down to St Mawgan, where it subsequently flew a few test flights with Keith Hartley at the helm.
