Seems Walter Soplata has one in his (in)famous collection. You might want to keep an eye on it, as everything will be sold at some stage (hopefully not too soon, as such a sale would indicate the passing of Mr. Soplata).
As far as i can understand, there is no way Mr.Soplata would part with his aircraft before that date.
Reported as on a base near Cambridge – date unknown.
Must be Cambridge, Massachusetts.

I’m pretty sure this is NOT a scrapyard.
97264 (c/n 9418) to storage at Litchfield Park, AZ Oct 1956. Purchased by Pacific Warbirds Museum, then to Eugene Akers and restored. In 1990 was under restoration as N5218V. Now in France as F-AZVJ
Might be a scene from a film.
The mother of all scrapyards: Kingman Army Airfield (Ca 1946).

I hope no one minds if i add another one.
What do you get if you cross a Me-110 with a DH Vampire?
The Heston JC.6 (sometimes called Heston A.2/45 after the Air Ministry Specification to wich it was built). A two-seat design powered by a single Giopsy Queen 33 engine driving a pusher propellor. The prototype flew in 1947.
It was dropped favour of the Auster AOP Mk 9.
Can someone tell me what the “thingy” between the stabs is?
Hi Tom,
No im sorry, that was the size i found online.
Here is another.
Hopefully you will get good pics from Duxford (dont post them here 😀 ).
I located a rivet pic of MH434, but i guess you need to cover the whole fusefage.
These seem like AN470AD5-X if im not mistaken 🙂
The horizontal row just above the writing looks dimpled, but it might just be the light.
