Do you mean “WE925” (which believed a composite with parts of VZ530). It reportedly moved to Bankstown, Australia to International Air Parts and was preserved.
I am delighted she is being saved. Could you PM me as I would like to donate some dosh towards this endeavour. Let me know your address so I can wing a cheque to you.
Does anyone know what became of the Drones that passed through the hands of Don Burgoyne? ……………………All seven identified appear to have been with Mr Burgoyne at ‘Heronfield’. Some sources suggest that location to have been known alternatively as High Tree Farm or Knowle, a former satellite airfield to Elmdon. Is this the same site as was – at least before I left the Solihull area five years ago – the base of the plant hire and building business at Heronfield Farm on the Solihull to Warwick road?
Sounds like you need to get a copy of Aviation in Warwickshire Between The Wars by my good chum Alf Jenks. It’s a privately published book but is superbly researched and gives a really detailed insight in Don Burgoyne’s involvement in aviation and includes detailed history of Heronfield and many other sites. Thoroughly recommended see: http://www.warwickshireaviation.co.uk/
